(watch video first )

On our day computers had 1K of memory, if you were lucky, and only a pretend keyboard. Programs, we had programs but they had to be loaded from the tapes. And we used them we couldn't watch the TV. Colour, what are you, a lord or something ?

But we were happy, we really were.

But you tell the youth of today and they just don't believe you...
