  Hi Guys and Gals.
 No, I'm not "back" but thought you might like an interesting read.
 I've been working on interviewing Jon Titus, the creator of the first
"home"
 computer, the Mark-8 Minicomputer - which was featured in the July 1974
 issue of Radio Electronics. 
Very nice!  Hope this might inspire more people to efforts like this.  It
is a part of the history that really needs to be documented!

  ... One image, of
 the RE front cover - was sent to me or I grabbed it from some website - but
 alas I can't remember where or by whom.  So, if it's yours please contact me
 and I'll talk to you about copyright/image theft, etc. 
Well...  judging from the file name, and the (not always subtle) Photoshop
cleanup work...  B^}  It came from my site.  You are welcome to it
regardless.  (at least as much as I can say that, not being a legal
representitive of Gernsback Publications)  ;^}

Only thing I might suggest, would be the addition of a copyright
attribution. (which I do in the 'alt' fields of the image link)

 I'd really like some feedback on this one - it's taken a fair bit of work!

I tried to reply but the mail bounced...  In any case...

THanks for your efforts!  A valuable insight!
