Re: BBC article on The Garage Message #3 Posted by Thomas Chrapkiewicz on 13 Apr 2008, 11:54 a.m., in response to message #2 by DaveJ I've got a pic or two I took back in 2001 March before the front yard and gate were redone...but I cannot paste pics here in the forum! Any recommendations? TomC

Re: BBC article on The Garage Message #4 Posted by Walter B on 13 Apr 2008, 12:19 p.m., in response to message #3 by Thomas Chrapkiewicz Tom, it's sufficient to have a site hosting the pictures. Please check the advanced formatting hints of this Forum. If these don't help, you may send your pictures to the curator. HTH, Walter

Re: BBC article on The Garage Message #8 Posted by Pascal on 13 Apr 2008, 3:44 a.m., in response to message #1 by John Keith Thanks for the link, I especially liked the part where they describe their first marketing tips: "The first model was called the 200a and they wanted people to think they were bigger than they were. They didn't want to call it 'Model One'," She says. "Their marketing was pretty primitive also. Even on a copy of HP's first advert it gives the address as 367 Addison and says call Department A for information."
