Oh yes, they did say that. I think that may give us a date, then. I was also going to ask if anyone knew of any other examples of phonograph records used to store data. The only one I'm aware of is the flexi-discs that came in early-80s computer magazines. It was either Kilobaud of Interface Age that had them. They'd contain a carrier tone you could play into a modem (IIRC) and they'd "download" (ASCII dump, really) the programs from that issue. I have many mags with the records in them but have never tried decoding one. j
