Nina KalininaFolks, I think I am finally ready to Program on my Computer
Tom Stepleton@nina_kali_nina From the look... is this an IBM manual, mid '70s? It reminds me of the manual series for the 5100-series machines. The main thing leading me to doubt is the exclamation point.
@stepleton this one is SHARP from the 80s; the "service manual" part of it even has a bit of Japanese (by mistake?)
malcolm@nina_kali_nina @stepleton that's weirdly competent English for a Japanese electronics company in the 80s, they were still very much in the "work out who has the best English on the team and have them translate"
@nina_kali_nina @stepleton let me rephrase that thinking about how it worked 20-odd years later, the person on the team who spoke the best English but wasn't critical to project success (which often ruled me out)
