One of my biggest customers had HP minis. One hundred and seventy thousand quid but that may have given more than one seat. Black and White.

One upgrade caused the picture to be rotated ninety degrees and for quite a while the draughtsmen had to tilt their heads and try to cope.

Imagine turning up with a 21inch Colour monitor, a PC that was already faster than the Mini - and upgradeable - and a nine pen A0 plotter, all for thirty-five thousand. Heck the Imprimis Wren got them 150M on its five platters.

Wish it could have gone on for a while longer.
