bit_user The article said: 320KB of usable SRAM and 384KB ROM. It's a bit of a stretch to call this a "computer", in this day and age. Yes, I know early PCs had about that amount of main memory and probably even less ROM, but that was almost 45 years ago. I rather think of something as a "computer", if it supports a general-purpose OS and general-purpose applications. Anything smaller is a "smart device", but not something you could generally use as a computer. Reply
