John Blanche?

yeah, that photo is of the Xerox one, not the Rank Xerox one. that was one hell of a pricey machine at the time. Who knew they had THAT kinda money. sure, it was a 1979/1980 machine but.. Optional Harddrives up to 10MB! at that stage! dual Floppy drives...

As Eric noted in that Awesome Lies blog interview, Rick's own words:

'Everything for the first draft was written on the Rank Xerox WP (Hal would have sent in typescript hard copy which I would have transferred manually). I imagine it would all have had to have been completely retyped at some point into whatever format was needed for the Amstrad PCWs with which we were re-equipped when we moved to Low Pavement. I can’t think that we would have been able to make a transfer between the Xerox WP system and whatever we were using for the Amstrads...''
