A 5 minute browse did not reveal this, but I thought for sure once I read something he wrote that used this term.. Also, I found that there was a 1975 supplement to the original 1974 Dream Machines, so even if you have a "first printing" check the Dream Machines side to see if you have the special 1975 supplement that includes references to the Altair etc. The 1975 version is a tad squarer than the 1974 actual first printing. You would not notice unless you put them on top of each other (like I did). Not trying to hijack this thread, just passing along a factoid. The back point is be careful if you have the opportunity to buy a "first printing" of Computer Lib, that it's the taller thin version without the 1975 supplement, a few extra pages added to the front of Dream Machines. I think Computer Lib is as-was. Soon afterwards there was a more book-like Computer Lib, that's not what I am talking about. Bill
