1982 BBC Pebble Mill Live Micronet 800 Demo
This popular lunchtime TV programme invited us to show Micronet 800 in December 1982. Foolishly I tried to use it live in the studio, when it would have been easier to do it as a pre-configured sequence on the computer. Worse, we had our partners EMAP break their board meeting to watch the programme, as they were deciding whether to vote money for the service to be fully launched. It did not go well on the screen, but I believe i got their vote and many positive calls from colleagues/friends because they all felt for my awkward moments
