The amazing thing to me is that they later purchased GRiD (rather than buying a GRiDcase III Plus, I should have invested in something...) but couldn't continue their success selling to Military/Police.
Stuff I desperately wish I'd known about early computing:
- the patch to make the cassette copy of Pascal work on TRS-DOS --- I think that might have made for a markedly different trajectory in my life --- c.f., Microsoft BASIC vs. MacBasic on my first Mac: https://www.folklore.org/MacBasic.html https://www.folklore.org/MacBasic.html
- that the "Softporn Adventure" was going to become a popular franchise and to keep, rather than remove the printed label on the erased disk I got as a blank from a local computer shop
- that Ultima was going to be important enough to me that I would miss the cloth map which came w/ my copy of Ultima II
- that I should have waited and got a Radio Shack PC-2 and its plotter, or better still a Radio Shack Model 100 rather than a PC-1
Ah well, at least I kept the poster I got from a copy of _Creative Computing_:
