My first home computer was an Acorn Atom 6502 cpu and a few K of memory It cost about 100$ CDN in 1983. It had a nice version of basic. I put it head to head in a game of computer chess with a TI99. After about 10 moves my Acorn was soundly defeated. Not due to a better TI99 chess program but because the Power regulator chips on the Acorn went up in a big puff of smoke. I could never get it working again,
Also a charming little museum of early PC's is located in Annapolis Royal Nova Scotia
