I remember (aged about 17) going to see Chris Curry demonstrate the BBC computer at the South Yorkshire Personal Computer Group which met in a Sheffield University lecture theatre. He was just nonchalantly smoking at the front of the lecture theatre, demonstating what it was capable of. There was a mass stampede down to the front when he ended his demonstration, with nearly everybody wanting to place pre-orders.
