Sinclair QL is older than the Apple Mac

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

The Sinclair QL is 25 years old this week which makes it one of the very first personal computers to hit the market. 

 

Thanks to Clive Akass for this chunk of nostalgia and Clive points out that the QL was launched 12 days before the Apple Mac, with its monochrome mouse-driven graphical interface.

 

"The QL, like the PC of the timer, used a command-line interface and supported mouse applications only later," says Clive.

The QL user group Quanta still exists and will be hosting a 25th birthday event on 18-19 April 2009 at Allesley Hotel, Allesley, near Coventry for those who use or remember Sinclair QL computer. 

 

Time for a bit of nostalgia!
