- darreninthenet 3y agoYup I grew up with one of those, my dad got some bonus at work and bought a BBC Micro B (with a 5.25" floppy drive, gasp!) when I was 7 and it was my first encounter with a computer... and then he got the (original) Elite game and I was hooked on computers ever since
- lttlrck 3y agoWe also got a model B when my dad got a bonus (he was away for weeks during the miners' strike of '84) but we had a Radio Shack tape recorder [1] - not a floppy drive! Some years later we went to a store to buy a floppy drive but I ended up with an Atari ST instead. For not a lot more money...
