Default I could use some help about this NCR cover

I was checking out Ebay for some deals and unfortunately my eyes strayed across this NCR 1987 Catalog Cover.

Since then my vision is kinda blurry like I can't focus on one thing.

I was tempted to buy it, but at least my senses, if not my eyesight recovered (I'd much rather spend the money on rockets than on nostalgia).

This was the first NCR catalog I got.

I might still have it, although I sold most of them before my last move.

And the eye candy wasn't bad either...

The story about that model is somehwere in the archives here on YORF if I'm not mistaken. You should be able to find it with a search.

Except that a search containing NCR gets this: "The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : NCR" and "model" gets about a gajillion hits.

Maybe Matt will see this post next time he's here and will tell the story again.

Her name is Traci and she was the manager of the apartment complex in the background. That is where I lived when I worked for NCR 07/93-10/94. She was a friend of Matt's wife Robyn. When I left she was married and expecting.

What about the girl on the '89 catalog? She was my fave.
