Re: I get an early 1980s home-computer vibe from the picture.
I almost feel like the old arguments... Everybody laughing at the poor kid who's (PHB) dad bought something like an Oric because of they were given some branded golf balls. The Commodore and Spectrum owners laughing at the toff kidd who had a BBC Micro but when they were weren't doing that were having a go at each other...
I think that roughly sums up 1980s computing in the UK.
