An interesting thought along the lines of this discussion
occured to me. I have some manuals, vendor will remain nameless
but they will know who they are. Some of these manuals have red
covers, and a few have day-glo stickers which read something to the effect:
Paraphased: "The document is not to leave the country of origin or the
sales region where it was distributed." And I think they cite some
Dept. of Commerce regulation.
I wonder how many people have had run-ins when traveling with manuals
(to study). My only encounter with the DOC took place in late 1984 when I
wanted to take a Mac and a GRiD Compass to China (State Dept. Tech. exchange).
Separate post:
>Where are they now?
If you have to ask, maybe some one doesn't want you to know.
Patience with unreleased products.
