Please don't remind me! Back around 1994 I picked up a used Cirtech IIc 
CP/M card for next to nothing. I gave it to a friend who had a IIc and 
installed it for him. Unfortunately it didn't come with the CP/M disks, 
and since this was still two years before I had any Internet access I 
had no way to download any, so we never got to try it out.

A few years later I heard his family had given the computer away to some 
relations in a different city. The horrible thought is that by now 
there's a good chance they've thrown the computer out, along with the CP/
M card...and the Apple IIc LCD screen (sob!)
