Say what? Big Blue? I can happily say I have no idea who that is, nor do I know who Gary is. Sorry!

I can't remember the year. It was:

Amiga 1200 = £400
4MB RAM = £200
80MB hard drive = £200

LOL! Yeah, teachers had a hard enough job, but when those were released, their job just got so much harder! One of my friends had one of those and oh, that was an INCREDIBLE week! Every TV or video in every lesson was tampered with. No teacher had any idea what was happening, and the amount of technician hours wasted trying to fix a "faulty television" was unbelievable. Fantastic stuff!
