Hi Guys
We are able to-announce the successful test production of
a PDP-8 Bezel in cast resin.
The result is tough, beige colored, slightly flexible copy
of the original.
Bonding the panel to the bezel or adding internal
stiffening brings rigidity.

Hi Guys,

Hi Guys
+++ Panels stocked and ready to ship

I am pleased to be able to announce the following PDP-8 front panels are
now ex-stock.
Stock levels are 10 or less of:
PDP-8/e (Type A)

My first word processor was from Wang called “Word Processor” and then
IBM’s “Displaywriter”. I tried “Wordstar” originally called
“Wordmaster” but way too complicated. When desktop publishing came
along WYSIWYG printing was made possible - the writer’s true
handmaiden! In the microcomputer world,

One thing that sticks in my mind are a fair number of S/360 manuals that
are obviously not typeset. For example, here the FORTRAN IV from 1965/66:
