"The company produced a range of affordable MS-DOS-based, and later Windows-based personal computers, the first of which was the ********, priced at £399 in 1986. It was a success, capturing more than 25% of the European computer market." Edited March 18, 2009 by Chudley Cannons Quote Link to comment
