D/LETTS12

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Dear Gus,

Thankyou for your letter of 15 July. Yes it is Mr. as per the stamped 
addressed envelope that you did not use - pressure of work maybe? Since 
writing my letter I came across the envelope that Derek sent the previous 
disk in - the label had 5D2 the same as yours. Therefore I conclude that 
you did not knock one off the label to give 5D1 in my case - perhaps you 
ommitted to knock one off all Dereks report for disk 14. So disk 15 will 
be the last of MY current subscription - I will then renew for another 
five disks assuming your enthusiasm holds out!

You must have all the previous issues of EUG - disk or otherwise. I had a 
letter published in issue 6. I had been thinking that an update was due 
for I have now expanded my system (with other expansions in the offing) 
considerably mainly as a hobby rather than looking after the `'s" as Will 
put it - this I still do and you can imagine that I have a large databank 
of financial information now.

Although now long retired I have been very busy lately and have not had 
time to go through disk 14 throughly but the high standard continues.
I am not too sure abour steering away into non-computer subjects though - 
but we shall see.

With best wishes,

Tony Boarer

A WORD OF EXPLAINATION TO EVERYONE ELSE. TONY WROTE TO ME ENCLOSING 
AN sae SAYING I HAD CREDITED HIM WITH ONE TOO MANY ISSUES ON THE LABEL 
OF DISK 14. I WORTE BACK SAYING I HAD USED THE QUANTITIES GIVEN TO ME 
BY DEREK WALKER. UNFORTUNATELY I DID LOSE THE ENVELOPE AND HIS ADDRSS 
LABEL ON THE LETTER SIMPLY GAVE HIS INITIALS. I WROTE DEAR MR. BOARER, 
THEN I APPOLOGISED IN CASE IT WAS A MRS. A MISS OR A MS. 
I AM STILLTRYING TO ORGANISE A DECENT FILING SYSTEM FOR EVERYTHING. ALL 
LETTERS FOR POSTING ARE PUT INTO A BOX AND THEN TAKEN OUT AND PUT INTO 
ENVELOPES, ADDRESSED, STAMPED AND POSTED. RETURN ENVELOPES TEND TO GET 
LOST. MY WIFE HAS SUGGESTED I PUT COLOURED PAPER CLIPS ON THOSE WITH 
STAMPED ENVELOPES. OK I'LL TRY HARDER.
THANKS FOR POINTING OUT THIS TO ME THOUGH TONY.

PS I'VE JUST FOUND YOUR ENVELOPE.
