Well at least I can contribute that the xerox.com domain was registered (COPIED and PASTED directly from the magazine's list):

7. xerox.com: January 9, 1986

so at least, up to the time of the letter Dick was on one of the fustest hosses in the race.

And I still have the copy of the DT (DOS, of course) that I downloaded from the earlier site, I think.

I have the disk it was saved on; but I don't have a drive to read it in and those old floppies didn't really make very stable archives. I guess I can believe it's still there as long as I don't try to read it.

I think I'll just "keep the faith" and forget the facts - I know it's there as long as I don't look.
