Well the order never arrived, and several phone calls he never returned, I then found out Perry and his company went under... Also read it was a scan to begin with.. Because my order was placed with a Visa card and the product was never sent I got a full credit to my account.. (After several calls to Visa) One of the many benifits of using Visa to place mail orders with.. Interesting thing is it was reported that all the interfaces in the picture were only props, and not actual working computer interfaces.. Actually this is a very interesting bit of history, This was a very large Ad, several pages in a well known magazine, must have cost a small furtune to place it.. And I know that Byte took alot of heat for getting caught in the middle. A lot of people like myself placed orders for products they never recieved.. I am going to print the scans you provided to keep as part of my personal collection. To my knowldege this may have been the biggest Microcomputer scan ever.. "The Bonnie & Clyde of Computers" Do you know what the dollar amount that this man scammed the public for was ? Thanks for the memorys.. <Grin>!!!! Phil
