Yes. If I ever get to twist Nasta's arm to do it (which won't be for a
while as he's got more important things to do) I think the BBC was the
perfect education machine - it had usable programming language, deep
access to the machine (inline assembly, etc) and ports for everything.
I really think a QL could do the job better, if it was designed right, and
had programmable IO ports and a cleaned up (IE completely redefined to
look like it belongs in this century) windowing system.

Indeed :o)

Well of course - it has the words "con", "dense" and "edmilk" in it ;)
No, I'm not being down on Americans, but not everything in America is
perfect... Still pretty good though :o)
