The keyboard was a "chiclet" variety, just barely useable, and the BASIC language was adequate, barely, especially after taking more than 2K for itself and leaving you with less than 2K to actually write programs in. But it did include a full complement of tightly integrated peripherals. The data recorder, the 40-column thermal printer, the expansion module that allowed an extra RAM carthridge (required by most games). It also had a modem and some terminal software. I was able to write games for it (crappy ones but games nonetheless) and also wrote a database program to manage my comic book collection (stored on cassette). And, I learned how to program on it. It was a serious attempt at making a user friendly computer system. If it wasn't so under-powered and limited it might have been passable. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]
