Another brain fart from Harry. I understand technical things are
beyond your comprehension but you don't need to be so proud of it.

I don't have any problems moving .jpg's to and fro. I know better than
to try to do so with my usenet provider in a "non-binary" newsgroup or
whatever was being tried that didn't work.

Oh, and I had more than 50 articles published in PC Week, PC Magazine,
BYTE and a few lesser pubs. I had a biweekly column in PC Week. Your
computer oriented technical articles consisted of...???

Uh huh. So If I go look at the archives of PC week or PC Mag I will
see a lot of "technical" articles from Harry Krause? We are not
talking about case styling and the feel of the keyboard are we?

They were probably letters to the editor.

In fairness, I remember reading something Harry wrote in some PC
magazine. He used to volunteer to do beta testing and provided feedback.

Your memory is faulty. I wasn’t a volunteer. I was under contract to
Ziff-Davis for an every other week article and was surprised at how well
they paid for 500-750 words. Most were published in PC WEEK but a few made
it into PC MAG. This was in the mid-1980s. That was when I started messing
around with PASCAL for the fun of it.

The one I read was a beta test review of some program.
