So I see someone has put up a new video about Microbee on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idt-g_UQbqw

As an ex-staffer at Microbee (1983-85) I can endorse that it's generally correct. I might re-watch it and make some notes on some minor quibbles.

In recent years when I look back I'm generally amazed that we sold them as much as we did, considering that the IBM PC was launched in 1981. So still selling only 8-bit computers in 1985 was pushing their luck.

This is one of my fave coffee cups - with the Microbee logo. The Microbee was the Aussie designed/built computer that I made the original Halloween Harry on back in 1985! #IndieDev #IndieGames #RetroGames #Microbee

A few years ago I did a little prototype to see how the original Microbee version of Halloween Harry would look on an Arduboy. This is that result 😀 #IndieGame #Arduboy #IndieDev #Microbee

I found the original Halloween Harry code I wrote in 1984, inspired by Ghostbusters, and published in 1985 on cassette tape. It was created in Microworld Basic (with some assembler) for the Microbee computer, an Aussie computer also sold in Sweden. #Microbee #IndieDev

@mwk LOL ah but that reminds me that my first computer came with the assembly source code for its CP/M BIOS printed at the back of the manual.

"No Microbee need ever be outdated by changes in technology." 🤣 🤣

Followed up 2 minutes later with another model... their 32bit "breakthrough in computer evolution". 😂
