‘GRAPHICS’
In June 1984, Personal Computer News described the VGP-64 as ‘impressive’ but ‘at a price which is liable to discourage all but corporate buyers’. Practical Computing, from January 1984, was as equally complimentary and, comparing it to the output of workstations in the 20,00GBP to 40,000GBP range, seemed a little more comfortable with the cost.
