Now that I'm looking at a just re-discovered picture, most of it iscoming
back to me. (Wish it wouldnt)
It was just after i became independent, after having been the (only) P2000
supporter in DK. We got a project for a food-ingredients company, and had to
rewrite some manuals. As we didnt have a PC yet, we _rented_ one for about a
month. The luggable is labelled Corono, but there is an extgra label on
top, which I cant read. There is also a P2000 system disk (5.25") visible,
so chances have it that they belong together. I remember that the word
processor was a danish one, called DanTekst (horrible system), so it must
have been an MS-DOS system.
