Oh...the memories! That "bump, bump, bump" noise as the floppy loaded Locoscript...every machine made the same racket.
the PCW 8256/512 were a great introduction to computing and, for me, as a young student, a great word processor. It relegated the correction fluid to the bin as you could edit as you typed. Locoscript was extremely powerful for its day and the dedicated keyboard meant that a mouse wasn't all that necessary. A great example of compact programming.

This is great. Please please please make a longer video demonstrating it's word processing capabilities, especially now that youtube has a 15 min time limit.
