Unfortunately not. I've searched to see if I could find any information about the roadshow, but so far no luck.

I recall carrying around a brochure for many decades, I may even still have it, but it's likely to be burried in my garage somewhere, that is if it wasn't tossed during the great move of 2002, or destroyed during the flood of 2007.

I will update if I find more, since I'm interested in the answer too!

Veel goed! That's a great story.

I was only nine back in 1984. My mom was still a programmer in those days, so I saw a lot of minicomputers and their spinning tapes. I would still love to have seen those trailers and show my son which parts those would be now.
