Prior to emigrating I (sadly) had to chuck out lots of stuff from my
past. The earliest (1989-90) SuperBeam manuals said that a hard disk
was recommended, but not essential; a slightly later one had a
detailed explanation of what a mouse was and to use it!
Remember when the first Microsoft mice required a dedicated ISA card to
plug them into...
