A fascinating little piece of Australia's early computing history: The MicroBee. In the early 1980s, a group of engineers in Gosford designed and built a home-grown computer that competed against the likes of the IBM PC, Apple 2, and Commodore 64. At one stage, Apple even offered to buy the company to get a foothold in Australian schools. Here's the story of the rise, fall, and return (?) of the MicroBee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idt-g_UQbqw #MicroBee #retrocomputing #retrocomputer @retrogaming
