Your comments:

  • It came with Locomotive software. LocoScript was the word processor. There was a spreadsheet which I would set to do complex acoustic calculations and could go away and make a coffee and do other jobs whilst it slowly number-crunched. I seem to recall a database program too.

    As for the hardware, the photograph omits the daisy-wheel printer which came with the monitor/processor and keyboard.
