Subject: BBC Micros used in retro programming class

Great item - and a great idea to teach the young uns too. But

"The BBC Micro has an unforgiving interface" - I would say the same
about a Windows GUI! 

"That's the fastest this machine can count..." I get his point, but
Grrrr!

"The machines also enforced a parsimonious programming style." GOOD.

Too bad the "audio programmer" didn't have a go at an envelope though.
