a modern innovation hits newsstands...



...copies on paper, the man suggests, for what you think is important, one of its biggest advantages.

...indeed the 386, few believed its power was small, then.

I remember my first PC, back in the 80s. I think it was a 386. Green screen. I used to play text games. “You walk into a room. In the corner there’s a chair. On the chair a note. You pick up the note which says………………” :lol:

I was so proud of the HDD. It was a massive 30mb and the size of a house-brick. Ahhh………… they don’t make ‘em like that anymore. 8)

The Commodore 128 was my first, as a shared purchase between two 15 year old pupils…
