Wow, I live across the river from Canada and never really considered the connection... I wonder how easy it would be to acquire some of these amazing vintage computers so close to home, I'd love an Amstrad or Alice in my collection!

But what about the British computers? I just knew about the Jupiter Ace 4000 and the Tano Dragon was released in the US, I wonder if they were in Canada as the original Dragon 32/64 and the Jupiter Ace as the 4000 as well alongside the BBC Micro, RM-380Z/Link 480Z and Sinclair ZX80 computers...

I'll have to do some research and maybe do a Canadian Computers series...

Thanks, I have a massive passion for retro-tech!  I'd do the 90s but they were mostly boring beige boxes... nothing fancy like the Alice, Amstrad, or Memotech systems; real style.  If you can think of any stand-out systems that would make cool pixels, please let me know.
