1983: born to be Apricot

The ACT Apricot is released. It comes with an amazing 800×400 resolution screen, a 3.5” floppy disk-drive (the first one available outside of Japan), and a range of other features that aren’t even found in machines costing twice its price.

To top it all off, it also has a remarkably stylish design. This PC is manufactured in the new factory of Glenrothes, Scotland, thanks to inspired engineers like M. Peter Horne.
