or whatever it was called then. It said that Microsoft had the
some-thousandth copy of ROBOT, I think. And the pic was of the IT
director, who was a woman.
Of course, I may have been dreaming!
Only partly dreaming. Not the back cover--that was "owned" by BCD.  
However, on Page 181 of the December '91 issue of NEWS 3X/400 you will  
find what you recall. 3000th copy of ROBOT. A picture of Selma  
Christian (Senior Systems Analyst for Microsoft Corporation) holding a  
commemorative plaque occupies most of the page. That add seems to have  
been a "once-of" and never appeared again.
How bored must I be ...

Simon Coulter.
