'A word processor so simple my PA could use it': Joyce turns 30

Fond memories

I got my hands on one of those when I was 11 years old. It was sitting on my mum's desk and when she wasn't typing letters on it, I could use it to write little programs on it. Since we had a very ambitious maths teacher who wanted to teach us programming at that time, it was perfect. Had it not been for the Schneider Joyce (as it was called in Germany), I may not have ended up in IT. Who knows.

They may not have been great quality, but as an 11 year old I wouldn't know or care. Had a lot of fun with it! (Saddening to be reminded so clearly how fast time went by since...)
