Fax to David Leslie
The Kitchen
Dear David,
[ . . .] Gibson is not available to be in Wyoming for transmission because he’s swamped finishing his new book.
I am streamlining each site to the simplest possible production. This will involve:
– You will have discs of Agrippa which operate like any normal application. The texts scroll at a pre-set speed and self destruct at the end, but otherwise they are very normal.
– Hardware requirements are at least an apple si, ci, or powerbook, with a least 3 megs of RAM. Depending on your plans and equip. availability you can patch up display option to suit.
– I should be able to get you everything by friday, though most sites are doing tests the next mon/tues
