- zem 6y agoi'm sad i missed out on it, jumped from a bbc b to an "ibm compatible"
- ochrist 6y agoI moved on from a BBC B to an Archimedes. Still have both machines in my basement. As I had to use a PC for the IT studies back in those days, I used a PC emulator. This allowed me to use Pascal and other stuff when needed. So I didn't get an 'IBM compatible' until much later.
