The 1st person/company world wide to buy it was a British Insurance Company. I had all the possible ∇ edit combinations (as well as system functions) programmed into the Function keys on a HDS terminal (which had just a bit less memory then the computer itself and was almost as powerfull as the 8 mHz 68000 computer itself was) --- enztec
