Typical lazy surface journalism. She (Catherine Legge) contacted me
having gotten my e-mail address from the now defunct Toronto Classic
Computer Collectors web-page or an article written about us in a local
computer paper. I imagine others there were also contacted but given
what she finally produced, who knows. Pretty easy research.
I responded encouragingly but never heard from her again. I guess it was
easier to pull stuff off Jim's site than to do a real story about Canadian
collectors. Another Puffball posing as a journalist.
