From: utzoo!decvax!cca!Bob@sri-unix Newsgroups: net.micro Title: Consumer Reports wants Users Article-I.D.: sri-unix.2089 Posted: Wed Jul 14 21:21:52 1982 Received: Fri Jul 16 01:37:17 1982 I found this notice in the July 82 issue of Consumer Reports: "A CALL TO COMPUTER OWNERS If you own a personal computer, we'd like you to tell us about your experiences in buying, learning to operate, and running it. We are interested in the class of computers that includes Apple, Commodore, IBM Personal Computer, Osborne, Radio Shack, and others of similar capability. If you wish to help us by filling out a questionnaire, please send your name, address, and the brand and model of your computer to: Consumer Reports, Box RME, 256 Washington St., Mount Vernon, N.Y. 10550." It doesn't limit the responses to only CU subscribers, so lets go to it! I bet they would be interested in seeing how we feel about lumping the Commodore and IBM PC as "similar capability"! Would a PDP 11/70 be similar to a IBM 370? A ZX80 to a Godabout? Bob Bloom (bbloom at brl) P.S. FJW: You're more familiar with the other computer-specific mailing lists than I. Why don't you forward a copy to info-apple, info-atari, etc. I'm sure they would like to get their licks in too.
