Dear Michael [Matte],

Your most interesting letter just arrived and I thought I'd best get back right 
away.  Primarily because there is no point in sending anything to Don Gladden.  
He's not involved with Arcadian production any longer.

We'll certainly keep the Arcadian going for two more issues (I trust you 
received the December issue by now).  Whether to go after issues 3 and 4 
depends on reader response and material to print.  It does seem like we have a 
somewhat dedicated kernel of Arcadian enthusiasts.

Balcheck II?  Now that's a big surprise!  Is Dick Belton aware of your efforts?  
I'm sure he would find it very interesting.

And a high-rise machine too!  Motherboard changes are acceptable-- I recall 
John's board had lots of piggyback memory attached-- I'll try to get in touch 
with him-- I think he is still with?  We have some motherboards here and some 
spare chips as well.  Actually, the units themselves are getting so cheap that 
one can build up the extra parts relatively cheaply.
