I vaguely remember "fastback plus". I did a quick Google search and found an article about it in a Info Work (google books) archive. On the same page there was an advert for a brand new 20Mhz Intel 386 system for a super price of just $3658.50 with 3MB additional RAM as optional (but you needed to call them for the price of that 3MB RAM)! So yes, it must be ancient! :-) The Cheetah was show on the box cover of Fastback Plus. ;-) -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
