I did too (Hsu only so far). Interesting stuff to read; the Berliner-Hsu stuff, a post from 1990 (?) about a new name for Deep Thought, plus the assertion that micros running on 68020's were 300 points stronger than DT or Hitech. All kinds of stuff, very interesting to read chess history as it happened. Someone should write a book. btw, I suppose cross-posting would be frowned upon, since that stuff is copyrighted by Google.
