[Rhodes22-list] Updated Rhodes 22 Owner's Manual

[stan]

Thanks Peter,

  I knew Mike was a tech genius just from our emails but my having gone 
to HS with the likes of Arthur Miller, Joseph Heller, Mel Brooks and 
others in that class, never had me thinking of myself as a well written 
writer.  You made my day thinking you thought the Rhodes manual well 
written.  If that were so I would have to credit inheriting any such 
skill from my daughter Cindy who is the pro in the family having written 
best seller Aftershock, Americas Bubble Economy, Fake Money/Real Danger 
and others.  Now you got me thinking; maybe I should bring out the R-27, 
long since designed but never put in production, give it away free and 
publish its manual with a 1K  cover charge.  (OK, maybe I should just 
stay with classmate Brooks as my role model.)
