1 AristotlePagaltzis 1 One of the many flavours of toy computers that were around in the 1980s. Most of these had [BASIC] on [ROM], used television sets as monitors and tape recorders as storage devices. You could either plug it into the TV and type something like:
2
3 <verbatim>
4 10 PRINT "NOW WHAT?"
5 20 GOTO 10
6 </verbatim>
7
8 or load a game off a tape. The __Commodore 64__ the __ZX Spectrum__ were common examples of these. The __Apple II__ was a little fancier in that it had a proper (though limited) monitor and a FloppyDisk drive. The [PC] began life as [IBM]'s overpriced attempt at a HomeComputer.
