[DUG] [DUG-Offtopic] new PC

[Steve Peacocke]

Oh dear Phil, you sound as young as I do.

How about the Commodore Pet in 1979? then a soldered together computer from
a kitset and resembled a ZX80 and had a whole 1kb of memory to play with.

A couple fo years later I remember a discussion with someone telling them
for a serious business computer you needed at least 16kb of memory and even
a disc drive.

I still have an early Osborne 1 computer - anyone with the old 8 inch floppy
Panasonic lying around in a back bedroom?
