[Coco] A little off topic

[Dave Philipsen]

Haha!  I just found a reference to the old kits.  They were called 
"P-Box" which was short for "perforated box".  Here's a link to some 
references: http://my.core.com/~sparktron/pbox.html

Also, this goes back to around 1970.  Does anyone remember when Tandy 
acquired Allied Radio and the original Radio Shack was called "Allied 
Radio Shack".  Here's a webpage about it.  If you scroll down a little 
way you'll see the Allied Radio Shack logo.  I think the P-Boxes I 
bought as a kid were made when it was still called "Allied Radio Shack".
