Issue #367 - 40 years of the PC

IBM PC 5150

Howdy,

We don’t know where you were in 1981, but we do know that IBM released its first Personal Computer, making the PC 40 years old!

Birthdays aside, we finally finished the mammoth task of overhauling our documentation and building a smart new home for it.

We also took a look the activities that are happening at our store in Cambridge, UK over the summer. And we saw a novel way of deterring package thieves from your porch.

An eclectic week, as ever. You know us.

Peace,

Ashley
