Still on the theme of buttons, I took a look at the computers that I was brought up with.  Mine was a Dragon 32, with a massive (wait for it)----32k of memory.  You loaded data by using a tape recorder!  Some games were available on massive cartridges, the size of a house.  You would put the cartridge into the side of the machine and there it was,  instant 'Space Invaders!'  If you didn't get the volume setting just right, the game wouln't load- aaaaaarghhhhhh! the pain!  I also had a look at the early hand held computers that were released during the 1980's, wow they look so retro!
