In the list I posted, I included anything that was vaguely a computer, like
the Psion and the AgendA, and the Torch, which is really a second processor
for a BBC B. I didn't include terminals, such as my VT131, a couple of
Cifer terminals, and some Wyse terminals. If the WP-2 runs software, even
just a dedicated word processor, I'd probably count it.
