This folder includes:
- Correspondence between Rupert Macnee, Donald Michie and Jean Michie
- Printed emails and faxes
- Correspondence and sketches regarding the polecat computer game the HCLF are developing with Andrew Luscombe, who is based in Japan, and how they can use it to make revenue. They suggest ideas to try and incorporate the popular Japanese manga and cartoon cat character Doraemon. They discuss modifying the 'Polecat for Windows Research Version' simulator so that it can be downloaded from the HCLF website, but with a time limit that requires the user to pay after a certain amount of use. Using a version that gives voice instructions would cost users more. A competition could be developed with prizes for the best score
- Meeting agendas and minutes, both handwritten and typed
- Article from The New York Times, 'Interactions: I'm O.K., My P.C.'s O.K.' by Carey Goldberg, 25 March 1996, that Donald suggests Rupert reads

- Macnee's name badge from the Internet Commerce Expo in Anaheim, California, 9-12 September 1996
- Prints from the HCLF website showing layout and content
- Ideas for making revenue from the HCLF website.
Some of the documents have been printed on the back of previously used pieces of paper which had scripts and information related to Macnee’s work as a television producer on them.
