Cursor (later called BASIC Express) is an excellent newsletter, on par with the Arcadian, that was created in 1980 as a for profit newsletter to focus more on hardware than the Arcadian was currently doing. The Cursor's publisher went through various methods of "copy-protecting" the print (blue ink, and awful colors that made it difficult to read). I have been unable to contact Fred Cornett (the publisher) or anyone that was part of the Cursor Group. Anyone know where to find any of these people?

     Special thanks go to Rob Mitchell for photocopying and sending me all these issues issues of Cursor.

CURSOR ? no. ? (1980): 1-2.	This 2-page issue of "Cursor" was sent to subscribers (possibly to hold them over until an actual newsletter is released). It thanks them for their patience and includes two BASIC type-in games, Biorhythms and Moon Landing. These two games had been a joint release on tape by Cursor and Sebree's Computing.

	CURSOR 2, no. 1 (August 1980): 49-56. This issue of the Cursor newsletter used methods to help prevent people from photocopying and sharing it. Pages 52 and 53 of August 1980's issue of Cursor are notoriously difficult to read. The ink used on these two pages, which contained programs to type in, was light blue with orange bands running the length of the page. This was done as a means of copy protection; it made photocopying the newsletter much more difficult. This means that all the scans online were created from photocopies. In about 2000 or so, someone, I believe it was Tony Miller, helpfully sent me these two pages that were scanned from his originals. He even went through the trouble of working with the pages and making them as readable as was possible. Those pages are included in the complete B&W newsletter. In the Bob Fabris Collection there were photocopies of pages 52 and 53 that may be more readable. I scanned them in grayscale, lossless TIFF format and then created a lossless pdf document of both pages. This 2-page document is 7.85MB for only two pages (vs 607 KB for the entire Cursor newsletter!). However, if you need them, then they are available. Until July 2021, I never had access to scans of the original issues of this newsletter. Thanks to Nate Reeder for providing me with a color scan from his original issue.

Cursor Solicitation Letter Reply from Michigan Bally Users Group	Cursor Solicitation Letter Michigan Bally Users Group letter regarding Cursor solicitation Circa 1982 In 1982 The Cursor Group mailed out a letter to solicitate more members. The Michigan Bally Users Group got wind of this and replied in quite a negative manner by sending out a letter of their own to members of their group. This makes for very interesting reading, because the end of the Cursor/BASIC Express newsletter ended very badly, and this document from that period shows how it all was beginning to crumble apart for the editor of Cursor.

	Letter to Fred Cornett. By Bob Fabris. July 21, 1980. "I notice that you have gone to the yellow paper, I guess as a deterrent to the repro route. How much of a problem is that??? "I would like to open a line of communication with you regarding various peripherals now (and future) in the works. It seems to me that our prime responsibility is to the poor Arcade owner, most of whom bought their machine in anticipation of some sort of Bally add-on. We, together, should ensure that the "things" we are working on are compatible with each other and probably should not be exact duplicates. Let me expand a bit. I note that you are working on a keyboard, as I am also. Near as I can tell, they are certainly not identical pieces of end-item, may even "attach" to the Bally by different methods, and as such, will provide the owner with a choice, and therefore be beneficial to him.
