[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 978523, member: 199791"] I was referring to the BBC Micro as the BBC Micro with the squealey CUB monitors, not the later Olivetti-era Acorns with RISCOS & Philips monitors (as shared with Amigas and other contemporary computers), didn't really have much love for those either, seemed pretty user-unfriendly from my perspective of having used Windows95 & 98 at the time when I ended up having to use the RISCOS Acorns in secondary school... The one Acorn that did fascinate me was the RISC-PC which you could flip between RISCOS and MS_DOS/Windows3.1, but that was another "Do not touch" computer, because computing with M$ products was seemingly a black art in the 90s... :-doh [/QUOTE]
