Beige Against the Machine: The IBM PC turns 40

Stuart Halliday
WTF?

I remember our department getting a PC for the first time.

They immediately played flight sim and a racing game on it. The games were pirated right away of course

Everyone was shown this machine playing the Flight Sim as if it was it's most important job.

I soon found out it did little else.

As a BBC Micro user I couldn't understand the fuss made of this weak, hard to use £1000+ computer!
