    Computer Quiz

    It probably just shows how old and sad I am but here's a quiz on the BBC site about computers through the years:

    BBC NEWS | Magazine | Midweek quiz: Old computers

    I'm rather chuffed as I got 10 out of 10!

    7 out of 10 (not very good on game consoles!)

    I remember my Dad bringing home a Commodore PET from work so he could work at home... oh those C30 tapes!

    I also remember my other half having to lug one of those IBM 'portables' across London to work... They were flippin' heavy!
