Calling all former BT engineers! Did you ever have one of these? It's actually a Psion Organiser II LZ64 but BT had a bunch made for them, rebadged as the P464, and with its own "Kilostream" software that only works via the Comms Link. Please reshare, as I'm keen to learn more about how it works!

The BBC Micro is 44 years old today, Happy Birthday! However, many customers had to wait until early 1982 for delivery of theirs due to limited supply availability before Christmas. During its lifespan just over 1.5 million were sold - exact figures are not known. I still have my original one.

Also beware that this somehow causes tiny pieces of grit to flake off the screen and get in your eyes.

I do enjoy these videos. By this point, the BBC Micro magazines were publishing games listings that were matching commercial quality, a trend that would reach it's peak by the end of the decade.
