On Friday FedEx delivered a box containing a ROBOSAPIEN robot that was my
prize for entering photos of my HERO-Jr in a contest they ran back in June
and ended this month. You were to send pictures and a little write-up about
what your robot could do. Now if I could just win Publisher's Clearing
house.

I think my mail may have caused some confusion...
The book "BASIC - A Hands On Method" contains descriptions of carrying out
actions on certain systems, e.g. a Data General Corp machine running RDOS.
At any rate, that book has now been claimed by a chap in Spain.
If anyone wants me to scan the images listed, or the instructions for
various computers, then I will do so before I pass the book on.
Cheers,
Ade.
