[GEM Development] USA Members and GEM Materials

[Thomas Clayton]

Ben and Gene:

I notice BOTH your signatures have "deltasoft" in them. Ben is in
Oxfordshire (UK) and Gene I THOUGHT you are in NW Pacific USA
(Seattle?). Did I mistake something?

The reason for the question is:
As I'm moving in the next months(?) - more than a few weeks, I hope! -
and I've got a BOX full original GEM materials (another of other DRI &
QdI, yet another of OS/2-OS/3) and I may have to 'discard excess
baggage' (I hope NOT these!);

WHO is the closest GEM-Dev list member to Chicago, IL, USA.?

I've NEVER found the GEM Scan I've been looking for, BTW.


Also, BTW, I've been looking for whatever happened to DAVEY BRAIN
(Ohio, USA) for some years now. (He had answered my request asking for
my 80488 upgraded PS/2 55sx and, when I wanted to deliver last Autumn,
I got NO replies at ANY of his e-mail addresses. I hope he's OK.)

Sincerely,

Thomas Clayton
