Computer Reviews from the Beginning of Time

The RGS 008A Microcomputer Kit 
- The RGS kit sells for 375 Dollars, making this one of the least expensive kits on the market.

The PET 2001
- The Commodore PET sells for 595 Dollars and includes a keyboard, video display, cassette drive and 4K of programmable memory

The HP-85
- Hewlett Packard’s new 3,250 Dollar personal computer has 32K of read-only memory

The Sinclair Research ZX80
- The new ZX80 computer is a remarkable device, widely advertised as the first personal computer under 200 Dollars. A kit version is available.

The IBM Personal Computer
- The IBM personal computer sells for 4,385 Dollars. Up to 256K of user memory may be installed.

The Osborne 1
- The case of the Osborne 1 is weather-proof and can fit under an airline seat. It would be most useful to a business person.

Microsoft Windows
- The desktop metaphor and the mouse present attractive concepts, but a factor keeping down the mouse popular has been the shortage of things to point at.

The Macintosh
- Time and again I’ve seen individuals with little or no computer experience use the same words to describe the Macintosh – “amazing” and “fun.” The question is whether “powerful” can be added to that list.

The Atari 1040ST
- A megabyte of memory for 999 Dollars. This is a preview of the Atari 1040ST. it is NOT a review. We provide this because we feel the Atari 1040ST is significant.
