I remember when "BASIC stamps" were a big thing.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC_Stamp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC_Stamp

"UK schools or colleges may instead send an official order" That might be some of the market. My retired-teacher relative worked with children with various learning difficulties, and continued to use educational software on a BBC Micro well into the 2000s. She said the comparative simplicity of the graphics and interface made it significantly more accessible for many of these children. There were also special peripheral interfaces like this [1] which were no longer available (or maybe were significantly more expensive). The micro:BIT is probably the current version of the BASIC Stamp [2].z [1] http://chrisacorns.computinghistory.org.uk/8bit_Upgrades/ConceptKbd_A4-128.html http://chrisacorns.computinghistory.org.uk/8bit_Upgrades/Con...
