I had an Exidy Sorcerer in 1978 but never had a disk reader, just a cassette player. The day I upped the memory from 8k to 32k I wondered what I was going to do with all that space.
I remember it had a lot of contact bounce on the keyboard (multiple entries when you pressed a key) and that difficult to remap US keyboard wasn't too helpful here in the UK...
Because during prior hearings Microsoft testified that the UK ID card database would be a 'honeypot' and wouldn't be safe.
Shit, if the planet's number 1 experts on fucked up systems think this, I'm *worried*.
Really neat! Just when our species needs asocial individuals who will spend years in solitude playing with really geeky kit while they pilot starships away from a broken planet, evolution once again begins to provide the variation that fits the niche...
