Cheap Indian laptop

Methinks they are cheating and simply converting the USD prices to quids. >£2K for an Apple ][ and > £3K for an early IBM PC sound more like what you actually had to pay in the UK.

I bought an Apple IIe (European version) with 32K or RAM dual external floppies in 1980 for the princely sum of £1066 (I remember exactly).

It was amazing what you could do with it. I bought a 3rd party 6502 assembler which really let you get at the machine. The ROM-based BASIC was pretty good too.

Sold it when first child was born and sulked for a month.

The built-in monitor would let you do that!

Ever use any of the routines in "Sweet16"?

Yes but not so easily.

I think I still have the Sweet16 'manual' somewhere.
