Yeah, I remember that newsletter issue and the software. Was that was in late 1982 or early 1983? I looked into buying the software, but didn't for some reason. If I recall correctly, he mentioned two vendors (depending on your type of computer) -- one in the US and one in Switzerland. I remember calling and talking to the US vendor. I think he was in Ohio.
I have the HB newsletters from 1980 to 1995 stuck away somewhere in my attic. One of these days I'll have to exhume them.
I was the vendor in the US, if it was TRS-80 software; the other was for the Apple IIe, I believe, although I could be wrong about that.
But I've never lived in Ohio. I'm pretty sure I was living in the Philadelphia area at that time.

I think the Vendor was named C.R. Hunter, or something like that. I'm pretty sure it was for an Apple or IBM PC, since those were the two I was contemplating buying at the time.
At any rate, I'll pull out the newsletter binders when I get a chance but it may take a week or two due to some other matters.
