Please scan it! I used to do business with "Sonny" at AUC. I bought my first
8/L from him.
BTW: They didn't get their systems from "dumpsters" - they were brokers in
DEC
and IBM as well IIRC. I was at their "warehouse" in Boston several times...

wasn't the guy's name Lou something? I sold a few systems
back in the early 80's that he had wants out for at the time
thru him.
I love the web page, and wish I had the Nova and tape drive in
the one lab photo.

And on that note - catalogues and stuff - does anyone know anything
about the 1970s Maplin catalogue cover artwork?
Who did it? Are the huge prints still available?
