MSX Series - A look at our digital past

It's been thirty years since Microsoft and ASCII jointly introduced the MSX standard to the world. Although mostly successful in Japan, some European manufacturers adhered to the standard as well, the best known of them all being Philips. Their VG-8020 MSX was a popular computer in the mid-eighties european market. It was marketed to schools everywhere as a powerful learning tool, and that's how my school bought a dozen of them, along with a standard setup of Philips green phosphor monitors and tape recorders. Learning Basic programming language on those machines was my very first computing experience.
