Hi,

The IBM PC was launched in 01/83 at ukp2390
That must be RE-launched, ...the PC is advertised for sale in the UK
in April 1982 "Practical Computing" - I've a copy in front of me.
It was also shown at the Computer Fair held in Earls Court 23-25
April 1982, which is probably where I saw first saw 'em. Of course
they may have been "grey imports", but IIRC they were pukka 250V
models, and I seem to recall UK keyboards. However, I don't think
IBM had a retail divisison in the UK in 1982, IIRC they dealt only
with corporate customers at that time.
