Re: IBM and Calcomp gear rescue in Toronto area

[Alan Perry via cctalk]

My aunt worked at Calcomp (not sure for how long but defintely in the 
late 70s), I think in QA. She sent me a couple test plots on some 
plastic back then and I still have them.


I think it would be funny to rescue the plotter and send it to her, but 
it would probably need to be rescued again soon afterward.

Please tell me someone is going to save this stuff so I don't have to annoy any
of my Canadian friends :-)
