As the second part of the BBC Technology news coverage of the
UK Maker Faire, we have a video from Newcastle:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7962647.stm
The clip begins with the classic Lunar Lander game implemented
as a physical model with Plaster-of-Paris lunar surface. My
own Compukit UK101 30th Anniversary comes up next, with the
three machines that I took along to the Faire. Someone asked
about memory sizes, and we realised that the 8Gb memory
card in his camera was one million times the size of the
memory in the UK101. And that was a fully expanded 8k
machine!
