The #Atari 1200XL was a 8bit #homecomputer running a #MOS 6502 #CPU at 1.79 MHz. When this beautiful machine was launched in 1983 with 64Kb RAM the price was under thousand dollars, but... https://youtu.be/JyA5tA5mmYY
$omehow, in the #8bitwar the #C64 was much more popular even when specs been almost the same. The difference in #BASIC language was less significant for the success. Most likely that competition was won by #Commodore because Jack Tramiel took the advice of his grandfather so serious.

The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

Print'n'Plotter sold their #graphics software under the same product name #Paintbox like #Quantel, but for #Sinclair #homecomputers. While #colourClash was a serious limitation in the 80s, it's a #8bit #cgi #glitch effect today available in smartphone camera apps.
Our #vector #graphic #illustration of this legendary #retrocomputer is a form of #digital #lithography. #IT's made in #svg tech and created with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai

I want “home computer” to come back into parlance.
Who’s with me? #HomeComputer
Not to over generalize, but ... is #GenX the first and last generation that has a substantially large cohort who generally knows how computers work from top to bottom? #sysadmin #HomeComputer
Went to check on my mom. She asked me to check the attic. Check out what I found. I wish there was some way for me to check if this thing would still fire up. 
I remember nothing about the game. Without websearch I'd like to say it was somekind of a pacman "ripoff".

Aldus PageMaker (1985) marked the beginning of desktop publishing, and in conjunction with it, Apple's Macintosh computers were the standard for many years. In 1994, Adobe acquired Aldus and now offers InDesign for desktop publishing purposes.
Don't forget that 2023 is host to more Annuals than ever before from Fusion Retro Books! 
Been working on getting everything from over the years catalogued into the library, but it's quite the collection!
