      I am not qualified to give the above advice!

      Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

        9/10 - I'm not very clued up on 90s consoles as I'd left the games industry by then

          7/10.

          No idea on the console thingies, not my sort of thing.

          Got the luggable wrong too.

          Ho hum.

            Yeah, I identified it as the Compaq, which I remember seeing. Hard to tell the difference IMO

              Sinclair brought out the Mk 14 in 1978. For £43 odd.

              With a whole 256 bytes of ram.
              There was also the Sinclair Cambridge Programmable calculator, with its 4-bit machine code.

              I've still got mine, and the four books of programs that came with it

              EDIT: Linky

                  There were 2 main iterations of Compaq luggable, the first looked a lot like the IBM (again it was a desktop in a sturdy box), but there were some differences. The second was a lot more refined with a plasma display on a pivot that came forwards and up, it was a lot more portable.

                  The IBM dealership I worked for also did Compaq warranty work.
