I had a BBC Model 'B' (later with a Cumano 5 1/4 inch disk drive)! 32K of memory, great for learning BASIC.

An analogy lies in the technical equipment used in the recording of music - one can pick up a modern four-track recorder with capabilities surpassing those that The Beatles recorded Sgt.Peppers with for less than £100. Todays equipment (which includes computers to a large extent) is far, far, far more powerful with infinite channels and 'tracks', an almost infinite array of effects and send/return buses, digital compression and limiters, automated mixing desks, MIDI communication between every outboards piece of equipment, virtual synths etc. etc. - and what does the industry relentlessly churn out? Girls Aloud, Busted and the like..........!
