<p>Clem and others,</p>
<p>Thanks for the links and information. I would like to see even
more of the tapes and books from the early days made available
(most modern stuff is brought to life in the digital era and
captured, but the old stuff mostly only lives in notebooks,
booklets, books, binders and tapes that individuals possess).
Thankfully, there's been a lot collected over the years, but
there's plenty still out there in jeopardy of not being preserved.
The 101 games book in bitsavers is great (the tape's even better),
but it's only one of many editions. Also, in my reading up on this
stuff, it appears that there was a DEC EDU newsletter before the
book, where're those? If y'all have them or something like them in
your basements, get them scanned before they rot away - or send
them to someone who will scan them in, these things are getting
scarce and are part of our (computing folks) historical record.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Will<br>
