Peek (65) 1987 Dec.

YEAR: 1987
ITEM: Periodical
COMPANY: Peek (65), Inc.
COUNTRY: USA
IN OUR COLLECTION: Yes

The subtitle of the PEEK (65) was The Unofficial OSI Users Journal. The cost for one year's subscription in 1987 was $22.00.

On no...a septuple issue! I cannot be sure but it looks like this December issue is the first one since last May...7 months. Things are looking downright bad. This is the first issue that has no Volume or Number (other than the very first issue in January 1980). Below is what the editor had to say...

Hello! Remember me? Yes, it has been an extraordinarily long time between issues. the reasons are many, some of them are my fault, and some of them aren't. The bottom line is that despite all of the problems I've had this year, PEEK(65) remains alive and well.
Sadly, it looks like this is the last issue published. But for 8 years PEEK(65) was an important part of the growth of personal computing among the many OSI users.

We will include more information on this item when we get a volunteer who really, really likes OSI computers. (Ohio Scientific, Inc....we have several in our collection)
