[Mini] Ancient list window decal. A small piece of history.

[Brett Nicholson]

Hi Ian,

Great to hear from you.  I remember Kermit from the old days.  Great to see
you still have him now, complete with pristine sticker!

I purchased two of the stickers, but one left on my 1970 Mini K van which I
sold in 2006.  The guy I sold it to back then still has it.

Ah yes, the old whirs and clicks of the 33k modem.  I will never forget
that sound, and the thrills as the list e-mails rolled in.  The kids of
today will never know what that was like.  I had to laugh recently, my 12yo
son was faced with a wall phone, with a curly cord.  He had never seen one
before.  Picked up the handset, looked at it confused and asked "How do I
turn it on?"  :D

Cheers,
Brett Nicholson (bnicho)
Greendale, Victoria, Australia.
