30th Anniversary of the Microcomputer

FreezerJam writes "The Toronto Star is running an article on the 30th anniversary of the launch of the MCM/70, the first personal computer, complete with tape drive and APL programming environment. For those of you checking your timeline, this is over a year before the article on the Altair 8800 was published. Microcomputers? Blame Canada!" There's also a story in the Globe and Mail.

Well half the comedians in Hollywood are Canadians (Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, Martin Short, Dan Akroyd, Andrea Martin and a bunch of others I can't think of right now...)

OK guys, let's hear it...

Our country reeks of trees,
our yaks are really large
and they smell like rotting beef-carcasses.
And we have to clean up after them
and the saddle sores are the best.
We proudly wear women's clothing, and
searing sand blows up our skirts.

And the buzzards, they soar overhead and
poisonous snakes will devour us whole,
our bones will bleach in the sun.
And we will probably go to hell
and that is our great reward
for being the-uh Roy-al
Canadian Kilted Yaksmen.
