Re: Sorcerers down Under.
There was a strong user group base down here in the late 70s and early 80s.
I remember having a real hard time deciding between a Sorcerer and an Atari
800. I eventually chose the Atari, with no regrets. But, I seem to
remember the Sorcerer as being fairly common.
Not easy to find now, but a lot of us down under collectors seem to have one
or two (or three, but I won't tease too much).
Cheers
