Way back in 1980, Infocom posted an ad in the
September 1980 issue of
the DECUS Mini-Tasker (the DECUS RT-11 SIG newsletter). This was the
first ad the Infocom ever produced and I'd like to get a scan of it
for the book.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anyone who kept this
newsletter. I've contacted a number of people in the DEC community
but still no luck. Someone pointed me to this forum and said there
might be someone here who could help.
John Dundas has this up on the web at:

You want the bottom of page 47.

Wow, that's great! That's exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks!

I've tried to reach that site before and failed: it?s still failing for
me now,
although I assume it must have worked for Rick (and presumably Tim).
I assume that I'm in a range of blocked IP addresses: does it work for
anyone else in the UK? (Does anyone have a mirror?)
Thanks

Confirmed that it fails for me in the UK too, just sits there and
eventually times out. But it loads up fine via a US VPN. (Or at
least that particular link does.) Why block anybody? Not even a
redirect to an explanation.

I wonder if it's an unofficial server with restriction to academic
sites? At York, we often put restrictions in place on web servers other
than the official one, as a matter of curse.
Anyway, for a short while, you can grab it from

For what it's worth, I had no problem accessing it from my home here in
the USA with RoadRunner as my ISP, so it's apparently not an academic
restriction.
