What great memories this thread has awoken in this soon to be 59 year old. I remember typing punch cards for Fortran and Cobol in 1980 and struggling through Assembler at night school! Then, we bought a Commodore VIC 20 to help the kids learn about computers and played Garden Wars and Cosmic Cruncher with them. I even wrote a spaceship game in Basic! Ah, the good old days! The VIC 20 used a tape drive to store programs and data. Wow.
The VIC 20 was our families first computer. Ahhhh, memories of Duckshoot and Donkey Kong
According to my parents, there was a now very old PC named Diablo or Devil. Could anyone confirm this? Or do you suspect it was produced by a local manufacturer not a well-known one?

From Xerox perhaps? We had a mention on our Vintage Computer Forum. Check this thread. BTW, come and join us if you are interested in the evolution of computers.
Thanks but I was just curious because it's a weird name for a PC... I'm not really in the PC vintage business, just ask me something about it and I won't be able to answer your question hehehe
