A while ago I was looking for information on a obscure and short lived British computer. I found an article[1] in the archives of BYTE magazine[2] - and was captivated immediately by the tech adverts of bygone eras.

I tried many tools, but they either required me to sign up, had various limitations, or uploaded my data to their servers, which I was never comfortable with.
Second, this was a personal exp
