The irony. Acorn winning the contract but the first computer shown and mentioned was a Sinclair.

Holy shit, i can see how those childrens get teached to get used with computers. But those programms just are to simple, you can never tell by default if it is a calculator programm or a word processing programm. Because it's all boring text and you had to use input commands, phew, these day's you can see & read were the hell you click on because it's GUI based, that's see easy now, even 4 year old kids know how to use it.

At the time these programs were really exciting, nobody had ever interacted with a TV before. Everything had a novelty value and as you could see the kids loved it. Thirty five years from now, what we do with computers today will probably seem boring to the new generation.

Some of these people have awful teeth, I bet some of the older people commenting here have terrible teeth.
