Much preferred the original DOS version of PSY-Q with the plug-in hardware. A later devkit model was released as a full-size ISA card, and it was notoriously unreliable. It would cause your PC to lock up with no warning, requiring a power cycle. Also the Windows version of SDevTC was pretty buggy.
In UK, if you pass your test in an automatic then you are restricted to only being able to drive automatic cars. Historically this reduces demand for automatics, and they are more expensive in UK, dealers charge more for an automatic gearbox. Even when renting a car, automatics cost more (probably just to extract more cash from tourists)
The World at War was actually produced by Thames TV for ITV, not the BBC, back in the days when they made documentaries. It’s an excellent series though. Laurence Olivier is a great narrator.
