Re: //c system



Well, I pretty much unloaded it out of the car and stacked them in my
old office, which is full of A2 stuff.

The box says Imagewriter.  There was a date of 1994.  That was the only
date I saw on anything.  I may not have time to play on this for a
month.

It doesn't look like you picture, from the top and with styrofoam
packing on both sides of the printer.  What I see from this vantage
looks a bit like the star gemini I got with my first computer only a
bit wider.

When I said did you buy it in the early 80's?  He simply agreed.  But
he didn't know.
