   That sounds familiar.  Since the real "near meltdown" was in the spring of   
   1979, that might help narrow it down.   
      
   For some reason, I can almost picture it coming from Wayne Green's   
   software company, whatever that was called.  It might have even been in 80   
   Microcomputing before?  The only reason I'd associate it with his ocmpany   
   is that I never had a model 1, just a various Color Computers and the   
   Model 100 laptop, so I wouldn't have been paying attention to software and   
   especially games for the model 1.  But his ads ran in his magazines,   
   including "73" so I would have been more likely to see it.   
      
   I may be completely misremembering, but maybe this is an angle to try, if   
   it works it narrows things down.
