Those were the days...
I did my PhD on a BBC Model B with 64K RAM. It lived in the middle of
the labs, had acid, blood, PTFE solution and tea spilt over it on a
regular basis and it never ever faltered. The main problem, as I
recall, was the BASIC interpreter had a 'number of lines' limit so you
had to put multiple commands on the same line to try and force more in.
Don't make 'em like they used to...
