Other CBM trivia?

I also have a couple of the CBM books on PET BASIC that were printed
very early on.

I'm doing this from memory, but I believe that one of the authors was
Adam Osborne (of the same Osborne computer fame?).

I also have a very early book by him about computers and computing in
general. It was used as a 'textbook' for a class I took at a junior
college here called 'Microcomputer Kit Building'.

All of the students were required to start assembling a computer -
some even completed their kits. I was about middle-way through with my
SwTPC 6800 kit at the time.

It was a really cool class - I didn't understand very much of it - way
over my head at the time. <grin>
