* 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:
- 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.
- ‘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.
