Well, that was all the stuff that jumped out at me as interesting. It's a shame it was crumpled up and torn or I would try to archive it but I don't really think it's worth it.
I'll end with this though, look back through at how many things had manufacture rebates as part of the discount price. Holy moly, I forgot how bad and scammy that was. At least that has basically died off now.

@TechTangents@dialup.space The best ones were where they signed you up for aol or a scammier isp to get the rebate.

@TechTangents@dialup.space The rebate thing always seemed a very US model. It was something that over here in the UK you mostly saw people talk about on usenet about hardware. Here, you paid the price and lumped it.
