text: There are a few errors in the Spellbinder essay. Spellbinder was a two-man company, founded by UC Davis psychology professor John Bintz and Perry Gee, who wrote the software. You seem to have conflated the story of Eagle Computer president Dennis Barnhardt''s untimely demise in his Ferrari the day the company went public. Lexisoft folded because they never developed a WYSIWYG capability for Spellbinder and the industry passed them by. I don''t know what happened to Perry, but John and his wife retired, sold their house in Davis, CA, bought a motor home and hit the road.

text: I used an Eagle III around 1984 - the software company I worked for (Eldorado Software) got it to use for porting our products (spreadsheet utilities and templates) to C/PM. We also used it to convert our spreadsheet templates to UltraCalc and SuperCalc (they were all originally written for VisiCalc on the Apple II.) Since we were trying to do a lot of cross-platform development, we had the Eagle, an Apple II, an original IBM PC (no hard drive), a TRS-80, a Commodore 64, Atari 400 and a Basis 80 (Apple clone) all in our workshop!

text: I was working as an intern at the Hayden Planetarium in NYC when in 1982 we installed the first computer automation system in the theater, using dual Eagle II computers. They were nice machines for the time. I learned a lot about assembly language programming playing with them!
