He and I were on the "Advisory Committee" for CIS at Merritt College (the
next year, I got Jim Warren on), and I handed John a VERY pre-release copy
at the meeting. 1983?
Which has nothing whatsoever to do with the *company*
eMachines, which
did in fact, as Fred stated, produce PC clones.
but, probably not until a little later
My mother has one of their 466MHz Pentium machines. It still has the
marketing stickers on the front, such as specs and "NEVER OBSOLETE". I
will pay somebody $1 to take it away, but I will NOT ship it. OK, I will
throw in as much stuff as you can carry from the growing FPUIB collection.
The rest of which will go towards Sellam's rebuilding.
