Hi John,

I may have the wrong number for the Home Calculation Pack. I did notice that some of the Math Book I that I have seen before are labelled as VT-108A. However, the Math Book III that I have here is labelled as CES-110.

And thanks.  I forgot to list the Recreation Pack in my original E-mail.  :)

Ken:
I notice that the designated series numbers seem to vary ... i.e. the Home Calculation Program book that *I* have is designated VT-107A. Wonder, does
a new number imply an improvement over past versions ... like WordPerfect
5.2 which followed the *ultimate* DOS version - WP 5.1 ... anyhow,
I seem to have here (now that I've started an inventory on the bucketsfull
of stuff that I've retreived from my storage locker ... don't ask ... my
wife suddenly realised the amount I'd been paying per month for the
privilege of preserving history?). another title that may have been
overlooked.

Recreation Program Pack VT-106-A containing the following 6 casettes:
Blue Meanies from Outer Space
Biorythm/Compatability
Car Chase
Slither/Super Slither
Space Math
VIC 21 Casino Style Blackjack

Ken -

I don't have 3 of the ones you show but I also do not have any
additional ones - sort of a confirmation of the different ones issued
except that Syd's picture shows a a "Recreation Programs" VT106E (also
in French on the label). Note the French I also comes in French (!) and
it seems to me they were all published in French.

I note that Math Book I is called VT-108-A on its cover.
