For those who were around in the early '80s, was the Prolog/Transputer/FGCS hype similar back then?

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose...

Most of us only had BBS, if we were lucky, so hype levels were kept very low.

We had Byte magazine which had Dick Pountain's articles of sexy hardware with which fantasize too...

And Computer Shopper, Micromania, Micro-Hobby, Crash, ....

Oh and books with code listings to type in hexadecimal rows of opcodes. :)
