I have this myself still unopened!.....I was planning on using it one day once
I learn how to use the internet....? Then someone rudely brought a PC into my
house, and I never got past using the demo versions of A-Web with I-Browse on
my A3000....to call Toronto Freenet! Anyway I remember getting it at the
Computerfest Show at the International Center when there was an Amiga section
that year during the internet isp wars....Heh, funny thing was, that "Internet"
thing actually caught-on with folks?!? Who knew right? And "LOOK" TV is
gone today! (cuz nobody wants to pay for only the channels they watch when they
could pay for hundreds of repeated channels they don't watch?!?)
Dug Rogers was right into this stuff at the time....I suggest getting ahold of
him or his buddie, Or ask Bruce Richards (Amiga Dealer) who also peddled there
stuff back in the day, and Dug worked for awhile for him when TPUG was holding
Amiga East meeting at his store.

Subject: [torontocbm] Anyone remember Robinson Consulting - Amiga?
Just cataloging Amiga software for the museum and I came across this title:
http://www.pcmuseum.ca/details.asp?id=40543&type=Software
It's an iStar Internet Starter Kit....produced by Robinson Consulting with a
905 area code number (which traced back to a Jan Robinson--at least at some
point)
Does anyone know anything about this company? Where they were located etc? We
try to "catalog" companies as well as software/hardware/etc. but I can't find
out anything about this company.
The phone number suggests Oshawa.
Let me know if you know anything please! Thanks!
