Subject: Review: Micro Men

Just watched it. Excellent, I thought.

My only gripe was that the "launch" BBC Micro had a DFS ROM in it -  
surely not.

(I noticed the beeb on "Electric Dreams" had a DFS ROM in it as well -  
probably the same beeb. This contributed to the difficulty they had in  
getting games to run on it - they needed to type *TAPE first.)

Would have been nice to go slightly further into Acorn's future to  
show the successful launch of the ARM and Archimedes computers -  
whereas Sinclair just got eaten by Amstrad and then destroyed. Also  
slightly disappointed that the launch of the BBC Master (my personal  
favourite ;) didn't get covered - just a note in a whiteboard.

But really very good. If anyone from outside the UK wants a copy then  
I *might* be able to provide.
