* Read this ad to your wife

Posted on September 15th, 2008 by retrogeek. Filed under Ads, dragon 32.


There are two things to say about this post:

  1. The Dragon 32 was another also-ran of the post-spectrum UK home computing boom. It had the advantage of a decent keyboard, and represented a decent buy in terms of specifications, but didn’t really engender the support of the developer community and Welsh company producing them collapsed in 1984.
  2. ‘Read this ad to your wife’!? The premise appears to be that your wife [all computer users are married hetrosexual males] would rather you bought her a new washing machine than waste your money on a computer. Thankfully she’ll be won over by your erudite arguments on the virtues of 32k of RAM, a whole 9 different colours of graphics and stunning five octaves of monophonic sound.
