This April, 1978 ad for the Bytemaster computer from Denver's Digital Group Bytemaster is a pretty fascinating look at the first hesitant tendrils of the personal computer, a year after the introduction of the Apple ][+.

One actually has some Lair technology very reminiscent of this. Really! Dare anyone to call me on it, and One will post a picture. Drool after those 5.25 Floppy Disk Drives. "Floppies" - does anyone even KNOW what those were?

One must adapt or be overcome. The exponential advancement and obsoleting of technology will make it difficult, sure. A greater victory to BE better.
