Unfortunately, the C5 was ahead of it's time, and would sell big today.


I still remember my dad bringing home a ZX81, with a 64k memory module that fixed to the back, that if you moved it erased every time you had been doing, and tape deck.



Then there were the 3 days to type the code that was in a computer magazine, and the next week spent reading over, and over again only to find you had typed a "." instead of ","


do people remember the fridge kicking in and a power surge which reset and you lost everything
