An old 1984 Oric Atmos home computer.

An old 1984 Oric Atmos home computer. Running a Tangerine version of Basic programming language and having 48K of built in memory. The original Oric was grey in colour and had grey small plastic keys that some people at the time said looked like chewing gum. With both models a home TV was normally used as a monitor and suffered from shifting colours as the computer warmed up. Programs were stored on cassette tapes that were generally unreliable.
