Re: for the cost of a tape to copy them to and delivery.
like KERMIT :)
I got Uni to pull a tape copy when I did my industrial placement. I put KERMIT on a Sperry 1100/70 (if memory served) and was able to pull/push files to a PC better than the supplied Sperry kit.
I then sent my modifications back to Columbia, where they are immortalised - with my name - in May 1987.
It makes it easy when people younger than 30 ask "what experience do you have ?"
