Lifeboat Associates was a huge software distributor at this time. Interesting!

@woodooprod@c.im Well yes, huge by the standards of the time. As I recall, they were reasonably nice to deal with, and paid invoices in a reasonable time. Which definitely wasn’t true of many distributors I dealt with later as a Macintosh developer. That Wikipedia article is interesting. I remember the name Tony Gold, I think I spoke to him on the phone. I don’t remember ever meeting anyone from Lifeboat in person. I did know Heidi Roizen from the early Mac days. Don’t think I knew she had a brother that wrote CP/M software.
