Thanks for pointing this out!  I can't believe none of the rest of us remembered it ;)

Your post got me to dig out the launch program and take a couple pictures:

OK, "program" is a little generous, it is more of a flyer.

I agree with Slomacuser, nobody did help us, I paid for the scan, send and asked the NeXT comunity for help, and send the images to Slomacuser, as he volunteer for the mission (and he did a fantastic work, I must say)

then we asked many times for help, even we asked those who have the original poster, and they just ignore us, this is sad, we all can have something really close the the original, and nobody help

:cry:

anyway Slomacuser, thanks mate!!

not a problem, is your work, what it counts, and the lack of help of the comunity, I have been looking for many years the poster, people who have it, they want to sell it, (I undestand this), but what about help others, who have passion for this, who wants to have a pice of history, what is wrong with this?

sorry, I just bit upset as we have been asking for months, now we are to  close to the original, hard work from Slomacuser,

thanks

Oh, yes, indeed you're right.  I had forgotten about that thread.

I didn't have my poster at the time, as it was off being framed (it was out of my hands for many months).  I just added the I have info to the other thread...
