Fascinating - thanks for that, Tony!
I've read about PERQs but I've never seen one; I don't believe I know
anyone who has one.
They seem "reasonably" common in the UK, in that I'd guesstimate at 30-40
survivors (but it's hard to get a handle on how many 3a's might be lurking -
but then they're not really a PERQ anyway :-)
Not sure what the picture's like elsewhere in the world, but those sorts of
numbers aren't bad for a system that's reasonably bulky and (to my knowledge)
never sold in huge numbers anyway.
What else
was there? What other machines - general-purpose desktop (or
desk-side or whatever) computers were there that Thought Differently?
I'm not really thinking of embedded systems and the like here, but
thinks you sat in front of and worked upon.
How about , the 3 Rivers PERQ. [...]
