[AusNOG] Blast from the past - 1994 connect.com.au brochure

[Robert Hudson]

I actually have access* to a CP/M system in New Zealand at present - it
sees ~monthly usage (it's an embedded PC within a piece of electrical
testing equipment).

Regards,

Robert

* I have to fly there and sit in front of it.  The screen must be at least
4" in size (and green monochrome).
