--> Hey, no offense meant - but what's the big deal about an old AE
    product catalog?  I just checked and I've got the 1987 catalog
    that came with my Serial Pro and another one that came with
    my RAMWORKS III & RGB add-on, so I've got the '87 Spring/Summer
    and the '87 Summer/Fall - they're just glossy advertising and
    nothing more than filler in those giant AE ziplock baggies.

    24 pgs, a bunch of products, pictures and specs and glowing hard
    sell.  Methinks you are giving it too much importance - but that
    may just be moi . . .

    I've got 4 or 5 AE cards - they all came with catalogs that were
    tossed.  These got kept because I forgot about them.  All they
    are now, is `packaging ambiance', for lack of a better phrase.

    Now the AE <whatever> User's Manuals - now those may be useful,
    but an old product catalog?  I dunno - maybe others won't feel
    as I do and as I said - no offense meant - it's just not much
    of an A2 `treat', AFAICT.
