Where’s the Radio Shack TRS80? Man, I love the lunar lander game – though I wasn’t very good.

Had trouble finding the ad I wanted, but I like it when they include the bargain you are getting.

This is interesting:

That is quite something… My dad would give me his old Personal Computer World mags, I can still remember many of the adverts even now 25 years on.

I wonder how long it will take until non-geeks realise just what a massive impact computing in going to have on every aspect of our lives 20 years from now.

Predicting computing 10 years from now is difficult but doable, but 20 years… not a chance!
