Happy 40th Anniversary of the Microbee - ChickenMan - 02-02-2022
The Microbee was launched 40 years ago in February 1982 via the Your Computer magazine as a Kit for the cost of $399 for a 16k model.
There has been a lot of water under the bridge since then, but without repeating the history of the Microbee that followed its initial release, its all here in detail - https://microbeetechnology.com.au/aboutus.htm
I must give a big personal thanks to Ewan Wordsworth for keeping the Microbee alive with new models, updates and accessories. Also a big thanks for making all his Microbee Software & Documentation free of charge and making them freely available to everyone via this Forum and Repository, while retaining its copyright.

Geez! Forty years already?
Long may the 'bee reign!
I'd also like to say that without these forums, I'd probably have not got back into Microbees.
Cheers and thanks to you all.
