When my school bought its 3016 (1980?) it was a revelation.  I had seen
the big orange ICL mainframe where my dad worked, a room full of big
cabinets and whirring disks & tapes, but this was a computer on a desk!

That, and Zaks' book on programming the 6502, certainly fuelled my
enthusiasm and many hours with a switch connected to the NMI line and
the MLM.

I'm still fascinated by computer schematics, and dabbling with the
hardware.  ;-)


Thankfully Google is missing many of my early postings.
