That a bit cruel Noel, he speaks very highly of you!
I am sure my mother still has a bottle of ENO in the cupboard. I wonder how he feels about this.
Pete
Famous?
Doesn't that imply that everybody would know of him?
I don't remember the name at all.
Course, that could be a function of age too.
I'll ask a question.
About 30/35 years ago when computers were just coming in Dick Smith sold a magical brand of computer.
For 23 points. What was the name of the computer, what was the standard memory for that computer, what was it's processor and how much did it cost? Oh, and how big was it's hard drive? :)
Dick Smith Wizzard
1kb of RAM
8-bit Rockwell 6502A CPU
FIIK
Sorry silent, that is not the magical one that I am thinking of.
Remember again.
Come on, you can't get much more magical than a Wizzard!!
Not much more magical no, but think synonyms.Quote:

Nope, not the system 80, that was a sort of do-it-yourself computer.
This was a proper full blown computer SYNONYMOUS with a wizard.
Some synonyms of wizard are:
1. (2) ace, adept, sensation, maven, virtuoso, genius, hotshot, star, whiz, whizz, wizard, wiz -- (someone who is dazzlingly skilled in any field)
2. magician, wizard, necromancer -- (one who practices magic or sorcery)
Don't forget the Microbee.Quote:
