Jupiter Cantab Ace

Jupiter Cantab · 1982

The computer that spoke Forth instead of BASIC, from two ex-Sinclair engineers. Forth is faster and more compact than interpreted BASIC and almost nobody wanted to learn it, so the Ace sold a few thousand and the company folded within a year. That failure makes it one of the most sought-after British home computers there is.
