I am restoring my old tangerine computer that I built in the early 1980's.
In those days you had to solder it together yourself!
Did any other forum members have one?

Please forgive me for being off topic...

I was just recalling fruits hahaha. I never had a tangerine but at school we did try and work out how many fruit related computer things we could think of.

Tangerine computer
Apple computer
Banana Discs
Apricot Computer

There were plenty more but my memory isnt as good now...
