Group purchase of Lisa, Lisa 2, Apple II, Apple III, Early Mac Software CD?

["Tim Haynes" <timhaynes@alumni.no.spam.please.uwaterloo.ca>]

Hey folks,

Once upon a time, I bought a copy of Apple's "Technical Information Source
CD" from eBay.  It had a pile disk images of of Lisa, Apple II, Apple III,
and early Macintosh software on it, plus tools to create floppies of those
disk images.

My CD went bad (grr...should have backed it up) and I'm dying to get my
hands on a new copy.

There is a guy on eBay selling some, but he wants too much for it ($89US).
But I was thinking that if I could get, say, 10 people in on a group
purchase of this CD, then we could buy it and I can make copies of it and
send the copies to the other purchases in the group.  It really is an
awesome CD for us collectors to have.

So, if you are interested in getting in on a group purchase of the Technical
Information Source CD, please let me know and we'll see if there is enough
interest for such a purchase.  Email me at:
timhaynes@no.spam.please.alumni.uwaterloo.ca (remove the no.spam.please
part).

The CD on eBay is here:

And here is a listing of some of the software it has (taken from a mac post
from a few years ago).  The list may be slightly inaccurate with regards to
the newer Mac system software and eMate stuff, but the Lisa list looks
right, and the A2 list is under-represented.  I just can't recall what was
on it, and this person's list is for a newer version of the CD, I believe.
Anyway, it's an idea of the kind of stuff that is on it.
