It is a little-known fact that before devoting themselves entirely to train games, Winsome developed dozens of titles on many diverse subjects. These early titles all had very short initial print runs, but many have since been picked up by larger publishers. Some highlights (and some surprises!) are listed below.

I cannot now remember who it was that said, back in the early 80s, that AT&T knew so little about marketing that if they bought Kentucky Fried Chicken they'd change its name to Kentucky Cut-Up Cooked Dead Chicken. You can guess what made me think of it.

Here's hoping Mr. Bohrer never breaks down and learns Adobe Illustrator. Flat and fugly is just so much more endearing.

At that time (before the court-ordered breakup in 1984) AT&T didn't need any marketing - they were the only (long distance) game in town. Western Electric was their manufacturer, and the equipment lasted forever.
Now look at what we've got - cell phones that might last two years on a network that is far from 100% reliable - and we put up with it and pay a pretty penny for it as well. Technology isn't always the answer...
