Xerox comps were featured.... copiers too... plus some other brands.. I always had the feeling they were XEROX company sponsored... but? In a newspaper archive search I come up with a lot of ads across the country between 81 and 83... I sent some adds to some of the people that were discussing this last night. This comes at a time of interest as I am working on documenting some of the early computer biz in AZ... part of it is pretty easy as I was involved in it... but there is that 77 to 79 area that still holds some mystery for me. If anyone has any thing related to early PHX Byte shop etc... drop me a note off list. Ed# _www.smecc.org_ (http://www.smecc.org) In a message dated 7/14/2017 9:06:13 A.M.

I suspect that some independent computer store chain got an OK to have a big Xerox logo out on the front. That would be quite believable. Some time in the early 80's there were computer stores popping up overnight like mushrooms, and disappearing just about as fast. Jon
