BTW, to be released May 12, 2020.
It’s much like Christmas, just sleep a night and then another one… :slight_smile:

I recently purchased this 1982 book (used, obviously), and have enjoyed its photos and descriptions of contemporary computers.

It was published in the UK, so it has a variety of British and European models which are not particularly well-known here in the United States. @EdS and @NoLand , you would probably find them more familiar! For me, that’s part of its charm.

The photos are black and white, but some of them are quite good, and there must be a hundred or so. [Edit: Wow, unlike my photo there, which is terrible. You’ll have to take me at my word.]
