Naturally, it's fake leather, with some kind of soft stuffing inside. The
point is that I've seen a black plastic version, and I'm not sure if it's
newer or older. My Visicalc disk has the identical label, but the manuals
say '4/81'. Ha! Beat you by a month! Mine also has the 'Software Arts
Technical Note SATN-18 Programmer's Guide to DIF(tm) A Data Interchange
Format'. It's a developer's guide to hacking Visicalc files. Do the rest
of them have this also?
