Georges Dick (France)	Friday 2nd January 2009	About the "MBC Alcyane" : as lng as I can remember, it was the first computer I''ve ever used. I was in high school, and this computer was connected to a TV set, a tape recorder and a keyboard. After we switched the power button, we had to play a tape containing a basic interpreter (about 10 minutes !) before we could actually use the computer.
