This is a biting parody of the famous weekly UK magazine Abracadabra. The parody was published by Geoff Maltby of Repro Magic. It was a supplement to one of the Club 71 issues in 1988. To understand all the fun they are poking at you will have to have read some of the Abra issues.

This is a parody of an IBM convention program. The parody was published by Geoff Maltby of Repro Magic. It was a supplement to one of the Club 71 issues in 1991. If you have attended your fair share of conventions you will probably laugh a lot. I am not sure why this is in particular targeted at the IBM. Less than well organized conventions are not limited to any organization.
