I was wondering if WPS was what was being recollected. There's also Tom

ironic homage to that bit of vintage computing

Is there anyone else on the list who was as
retrospectively foolish as I as
to trust him with a deposit? It doesn't speak much for his ethics if he
advertises and takes orders for non-existent products (who was that guy and
his company that advertised in Kilobaud, among others, back in the '70's
with full page ads for non-existent products? Remember that?).
Search for "World Power Systems". I remember those ads and that story
from back in the day.
