Jos, I think you missed the following email. Stephane From: Vernon Wright <vern4wright(a)yahoo.com> Reply-To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2004 12:35:59 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Don Maslin I read the list through the digests, and not always frequently. So let me re-introduce myself. I am a past-president of the San Diego Computer Society. In about 1986 I founded Dina-SIG, a special interest group of the San Diego Computer Society. Don Maslin immediately showed up, and we became fast friends and have remained so ever since. I find it difficult to speak of him in the past tense. Don took on a special project for Dina-SIG, and made it his own: the archiving of software for classic computers. I have of course talked with his wife Winnie, and she has asked that people interested in Don's software archives and his hardware collection hold off on contact until further notice through this list. Within a reasonable time I will locate his archives, and I will personally guarantee that the archives will be duplicated and copies deposited with people and institutions which will honor the attitude that Don put into this effort - one of love for old stuff and and of service to the community. In time his hardware collection will also be made available to the community. I ask you to consider Mrs. Maslin's position and not attempt to intervene at this time.
