We had one of these at school in the Library. Never used it as I think the mouse was confiscated.

Is that the project with the huge LP sized laser discs? I remember thinking how swanky that was at the time.

Interesting site! I don't recall the project but it's good to see pictures from my home town in 1986. The whole thing is vaguely familiar though. At school in about 1988/89ish I'm pretty sure the teacher was showing us this project on a big lazer disc player. I remember him homing in on the map and showing us photos. It seems so quaint now in these days of Google Earth but back then WOW. I for one was impressed!

I remember one of these disks and a BBC micro on ebay a number of years ago... went for a fortune.
