Couldn't have made it through grad school without this thing.

Magnetic interference from the monitor would interfere with the floppy disk drives, so you had to separate the two with a stack of phone books.

I really miss that catalog, along with JS&A Products that Think. :’) My first printer was an Olivetti inkjet, no true descenders, and I got it from DAK.

I bought a different one of those DAK systems, but was using that Packard Bell printer until I couldn’t find ribbons for it anymore. . . late 90s. . .

Good old DAK (he’s still around). Loved his ads, which were loaded with hyperbole. The one that sticks in my mind was an one for a computer that ran with “a BLAZING 12 Megahertz!!!”
