different ones there were!

I sent this reply a couple of days ago but it
never
appeared in the digest so I can only assume that
it went into the univeral bit bucket. Here it is again.
OK it didn't get lost, the digest I received yesterday
covered August 16-20.

any plans to PDF any of
this
material?
Not right now. I have just about everything I own packed up and in in anticipation of an up coming move, but as soon as I
get a chance I'll
send you a copy.
I sent a link to your picture of the 3500 to the person at Brookhaven
National Laboratory that was in charge of the 1997 recreation of the
Higinbotham "Tennis For Two" demonstration. He is anxious to find
a rack mounted Donner model 30 to be a part of a permanent display.
The problem is that the model 3500 are much more common and
easier to find.
