"Presenting the Macintosh"

[mactjaap]

With my Macintosh 128K came a book. It is called "Presenting the Macintosh" by Merl K. Miller and Mary A. Myers. It is written even before the Macintosh was launched.

The text on the back:

Presenting the Macintosh!Of all the personal computers available today, Apple Computer’s new Macintosh is more then unique. It does things few other computers can do. And you don’t have to learn any complicated commands.

This book is an ideal handbook to read before you buy any computer. It…

Most interesting page for me was about communication. The book is telling about three communication programs for the Macintosh:

- CommQuest

- Send Receive

- Chat

CommQuest and Chat seem to be some kind of terminal programs. Send Receive is a program to exchange files between Macintosh and IBM.

What I would like to ask to members of the forum is if they know these three programs and if anyone has a copy or documentation about them?
