English Humor or Smart Marketing
I clipped this ad from a British newspaper during my recent trip to the UK. Rare Classic? Save £1000 on the cost of buying a computer? I’m still wondering if they were serious, and if so how many they sold.

Retro indeed--that typewriter sort of looks like it was designed by the same folks who did the old Apple IIe or the Commodore 64. I'd date it between '77 - '80.

They get you with the cost of the ribbons (yeah, remember the ribbons?)
Isn't that the typewriter the CBS memos were typed on?
