The story I like in this thread of conversation is the one about how the creation of the first Hyperdocument CD for ACM-Siggraph. Now, Siggraph is a pretty cash rich organization at one time topping out ACM's SIG groups with the largest membership. Each member paid something like $100, plus the tradeshows which brought even more outsiders, paying more. These show tended to fill two or three of the best Hotels ($$) in the biggest cities. The paper 'Transactions' catalog was very expensively produced, with state of the art internal Xerox machinery. The director of the effort was a name figure in Computer Graphics. Quality and generational loss must have been very important to them because at one time they reproduced and remailed an entire monthly issue just because the rendered colors in one article were a little off. No doubt the transactions were Computer typeset. The Project director when tasked with making a CD of the whole thing did this: Sawed off the binding off the catalog and sent the whole thing to be re-scanned. If this is what they do with a current and in house item, then you can guess the rest. John A.

Does anyone have an extra, intact Apple Lisa back panel? Mine is broken at the thumb screw closest to the PSU and today I missed nabbing yet another on eBay when the seller cancled all bids and ended an auction early. This is the third that I've missed due to various reasons. Needless to say, the missing thumb screw on mine makes it difficult to run the machine. Thanks.
