RE: BBC Micro - The Ancestor to a Device You Are Guaranteed to Own

That seems to be a common theme for 80s kids, Apple II at school and either Apple II or C64 at home, until the end where Amiga and then PC dominate.

Although I do speak to a lot of people who used C64 right into the 90s. At the time I thought we got our Atari ST late to the party (88/89). I am glad people still got use out of their 8 bit machines after that!
