Not bad for a latecomer :-)

(Mine's MPE III as well. Sits next to my HP3000 APL manual and my Series III
GIN).

My Sinclair ZX81, with its 16k RAM Pack, is of course looked down on by ZX80
owners.

I had a book with the ZX81 - 'What can I do with 1k?' - a series of Basic
programs that would run on the machine even without its RAM pack. You typed
them in from the listings provided....

It made the warning with my PC QuickBasic 4.0, that it spanned more than one
floppy disc and could take as much as 2mB of disc space when loaded, seem
infinitely futuristic.

Now, just the Jungle Theme sounds alone are half as much again....
