An article about that board in some computer magazine of the time (probably PC World) was the first time I had heard of Unix and C - I was amazed at the same of C code they gave - no line numbers!

Edit: This was probably 1983 when I was 17 and my programming experience was based on Apple II and Sinclair machines.

I never got nearer than a magazine review to one of those beasties so I am probably getting the OS part wrong - but I do vividly remember wondering what #include did.... :-)
And this is the (now defunct) Panos restaurant, on Hills Road:
