Jep, but still the question, wheres the difference - we have been
talking about the idea if having a 'personal' computer in the 50's,
(if available at 1/4th of a year salery) and I can't see any
difference to the situation in the 70s - the same group of electonic
fascinated people would have taken the chance.
The effect is just that there was no such device.
