- kwhitefoot 6y agoSome? In my experience it was almost all. At least that's how it was in the UK.
- uxp100 6y agoThe article is from 1973. I think exact eras are getting a little muddled here. Altair, Mark-8, SCELBI, these are the sort of home computer that came out shortly AFTER this project was published.

- kwhitefoot 6y agoAh, serves me right for jumping straight to the comments. I had in mind computers from a few years later like my Nascom 2 from 1979.
- uxp100 6y agoIt really all happened quite quickly.
- vram22 6y agoYou are probably right. I first wrote "many", then edited it to say "some", in the interest of accuracy, since I had only used a few kinds myself, and did not know if all the others supported that feature or not :)
- vram22 6y agoDid all that, before your reply, BTW.
