  • The Computers That Made Britain

    From Robert Bernardo@3:770/3 to All on Mon Jun 14 18:18:03 2021
    I just found this out today. The book, "The Computers That Made Britain," is available as a free e-book or you can purchase a hardcopy at:

    https://wireframe.raspberrypi.org/books/computers-that-made-britain

    Among the various platforms, CBM computers that are covered are the PET 2001, VIC-20, C64, and the Amiga.

    Leaving out other CBM computers,
