Doc, I believe that you may be mixing up dead Dons that were into 
classic computing. :)  Don Maslin (as opposed to "Don S" that Tom 
posted about) lived in CA, not WI. :)

You got most of it right, but are combining stories I believe.

Anyways, the Altos stuff (at least) that Tom Peters is giving out will 
be saved and archived publically.  You have my word on that. :)
