@stux BBC Micro's were the bane of my childhood at school. Used to static shock me every time you turn the monitor on.
The "video disc" became Laserdisc and didnt take off as by the time it got to market it was too expensive and VHS was most prominent option beating out Betamax and the lesser known Philips C-Max in the UK, VCD/SVCDs never took off either.
@Whiskeyomega I got the static shock from the monitor casing too.
Didn’t get to use the laser disk very often as that meant getting the Acorn computer out of the staff room.
