I dunno... I think Lars is referring to the small triangles that first
appeared in System instructions in the early nineties. Last page, upper
right corner; they transpose to the back cover as well. One side shows the
theme ( a symbol), the other a punctuation of some sort.
I had always thought they were originally intended as a proof of purchase
for some intended competition, however I was unable to find reference of any
such thing :-(

| They had free sets you could get with so many points, I only managed to get one set (can't think of it off hand). You had to pay S&H but you could get some good sets basicaly free!
