    BW> Interesting - the BBC computers had a (pretty amazing for the time)   
    BW> system called Domesday which used a special interface to a Laserdisc   
    BW> player.   
      
   I must admit, the Domesday system sounds pretty interesting and capable!   
      
   I used the AppleII mapping system with dBase dot commands, but didn't   
   know the technical background of how it worked. I wasn't the primary   
   operator, just fascinated by the dBase commands to get what I wanted.   
      
    BW> Yup, I am. Specifically in Wales, though right at this moment I'm in   
    BW> London.    
      
   I visited London in the 80's while stationed in Germany, and it was a   
   fantastic place. I have never been to Wales, but it also sounds like a   
   great place to see and experience. On a side note, I use John's   
   Background Switcher on my Win10 PC and he is from Wales (I think), he   
   has some fantastic photos on his blog pages.   
      
    BW> It is. Sort of, kind of... It's 6502 like a C64 but without the VIC-II   
    BW> or SID chips so a little less "multimedia".   
      
   OK, those 2 chips basically made the C-64 (IMO).   
      
    BW> a BBC Master which had a slightly boosted 65CS12 with a couple of   
    BW> extra instructions and 128k RAM.    
      
   This kind of sounds like the C-128. I used those but always switched to   
   the 64 mode so I could play all the games. There wasn't much software   
   for the 128.   
      
   Thanks for explaining the BBC Micro, sounds like a great system to me. I   
   can tell you are a true fan!

   ... Everyone smiles in the same language.
