ZX80 to trade

Post by nama »

I have two ZX80's, and I'm looking to trade one for something equally
as unique. I'm hoping for a Jupiter Ace or something at that level.
Let me know if you are interested.

sorry, again I already have a number of Apple II's.
I was hoping for something a little more unusual.

Thorn EMI 'Liberator' handheld text processor? As developed for and used by the British civil service in the '80s.

'May 1985 saw [..] a small mention of ‘the new British made portable Liberator text processor launched by Thorn-EMI.’ I was involved with this project, and must mention Bernard Terry [..] who masterminded the whole thing and was, in effect, the father of lap-top computers in the UK. '

The only other time I've even seen one, there's barely any google action, was at the Bletchley park museum. It's in excellent condition and comes with a stylish 'attache' style embossed leatherette man-bag.

I know nothing about this machine. Is there anywhere I can read up about it, and see some pics?

That's the thing :) It's very rare and there are no more details than the odd mention in some document about DragonData - the designer went on to work on the Dragon32...
