I was born in '92 but I know that they had a ZX81 with the 16K ram upgrade
(fancy :D)... and a BBC. Then they went straight over to a 286 DOS machine,
which they then put 3.11wg on. (That 500mb drive still boots, as does
windows and Qbasic and SQL Anywhere) Then they went onto a 486 then a 486
Over Drive then a Pentium MMX and so on....

Just because I wasn't there, doesn't mean I miss anythin'. We still have
most of these machines, beauties.
