Grumpy28878y@fbomb That's a "Luxor ABC800". It was a very local computer and I guess that not a single one was ever used outside Scandinavia.

Grumpy28878yThanks for the kind words, @Letmecode! I consider myself lucky to have experienced the time when micro computer tech was still a bit rough. That way, I could experience the shift from pioneers building small series computers, to the more polished devices we have today.
I suppose that makes it easier to appreciate, and get inspired by, anything new and rough that shows up on the horizon.
