I remember walking into my mum's friends house when I was 7 or 8 and the friend's husband had one of these in his hands and he was typing something into the tv and then there was a noise and some lines on the screen and I WAS HOOKED. So strange to think that where I come to work every day, that very machine was probably assembled about 10 metres away from where I sit now.
