In the UK, 1980s home computers typically loaded software from audio cassettes, but did you know software sometimes came on records? These ‘flexi discs’ were given away on magazine covers. They were cheap to manufacture and more convenient to distribute than bulky cassettes. #record #computer

ZX81 BASIC provided a ‘PRINT AT’ command for displaying characters at given coordinates. The ‘PLOT’ command would place a pixel (at a chunky 64x44 resolution). The PRINT’N’PLOTTER JOTTER was a special notepad that allowed screen layouts to be planned out on paper. Did you use one back in the day?

Meet the ancestor of modern calculation: the abacus! 🧮
It's a simple tool that uses place value (beads on rods) to perform all four basic arithmetic operations and even advanced calculations like finding square roots. It was the main calculator for centuries!

With its handwriting recognition, notes and contacts, it was ahead of its time - even if it seems a little basic compared to today's iPhone!
