As you well know, the BBC micro was the one serious machine that we 80′s students could get our hands on to fulfill our lives when the mini-computer terminal rooms closed.

I know that my own career in computing would not have been the same if it had not been for open atmosphere that the BBC and universities promoted with regard to computing and network exploration. After all I was a Pharmacology student after all!
