Back in the late 80's, I worked as a sales engineer for a small computer dealer, Kyle Micros in Glasgow. Based in the West end, surrounded by solicitors, lawyers, small businesses, it was ripe territory for word processors. We literally could not keep up demand for the PCW9512. I remember receiving deliveries of 100's of the units , humping them up two flights of stairs, setting them up the. Jumping in black taxis to deliver, install and train. I vaguely remember a very senior Amstrad guy visiting us. He couldn't believe how many we were buying and probably came to check us out. Pretty sure we were on of the biggest Amstrad dealers in Scotland. It really was a game changer of a product and I have fond memories of my time at Kyle Micros. Then followed the Amstrad PC's, video cameras, integrated TV/VHS player & the HI-FI's. Really a great time in tech.
