UK Computers 1978 to 1989
I started this site with the British Sinclair and Acorn/BBC computers and I think it only appropriate to finish with all the others.
As has been indicated before, the UK really got excited over the whole home computer scene. This started with many circuit board computers (such as the Microtan, UK101 and Nascom) before growing into an industry of many companies with lots of different ideas of how a computer was made. Since these computers are across so many companies, it seems to make sense to cover them in chronological sequence including the Sinclair and BBC computers for completeness.
