This is my local mirror of the Solbourne Shack (r.i.p.) which Stephen Dowdy maintained for many years at the University of Colorado. I have made no changes except to correct links and remove sections that no longer apply. This section of the site will not be further maintained other than to keep links up to date. -- Cameron Kaiser

This page was renamed from "Solbourne Straggler's Web Page" to
the "Solbourne Shack Web Page" in protest of Tandy Corporation's inane
rampage against anyone and everyone using the unethically (IMHO) obtained
trademark "SHACK".
See Vagabond Jim's Web Page (potential NSFW) with details... At this point, i should point out that the issue has been resolved apparently, at least in the case of Bianca's SMUT shack. That doesn't mean it doesn't apply to everyone else using "Shack" (a common english word). The PTO (Patent, TradeMark Office) are a bunch of curmudgeons for allowing corporations to hijack common language (among many other wrongs). (btw, "Solbourne Shack" is not a trademark, nor is "Solbourne Shack" a subsidiary division, nor in any way related to "Radio Shack" just in case anyone thought they could buy the 1,001 Solbourne Electronics Projects kit here) |
These pages are dedicated to those who are hanging on to their current Solbournes or have acquired them from the fearful.
