It seems that a lot of you blokes down under have
Sorcerers. Were they
marketed a lot more "down there" than they were in the US? They are not
very common over here.
They were marketed very strongly in Australia as office computer systems.
My fading memory seems to recall that they were sold by Dick Smith (the
Australian version of Tandy/Radio Shack). I convinced my father to purchase
one to act as a word processor in the mid to late 70s (I think). Neat
system for the time although for me it wasn't a real computer as it didn't
have a front panel (admits to DECsystem-10 fetishes
here :-)
