 Well, I don't remember ;) Back in Soviet Union times I was on biggest
computer show where some man presented me booklet and small book about
Macs. So I decided that I need no any PCs and wanted to buy Mac. Well,
I "WANTED to buy" untill descovered that any available Mac has smallest
price comparable to price of good heavy-armed helicopter :)

 People on www.loot.com usually leave phones and not e-mails there. It
is "little" expensive for me to phone to UK :) Those who leaves emails
usually became TOO scared when they ask where I am from and refuse send
things to me... Little strange reaction, especially when I agree to cover 
all packing and postage... However I do not need books about Z80 coding
because I know Z80 assembler very well.
