My Dad used to own one of these Cado systems for his family business. I used to go into the business on the weekend when it was shut and 'play' with the computer.

I did a lot of learning about word processing and used the Just Ask database software a lot. I also found some of the system logins and could get access to probably configure stuff I should not have :)

I recall putting my mums cooking recipes into a Just Ask database and printing all of them out.

I also remember being able to print annual calendars with Snoopy at the top and a cute program that generated biorhythm stuff.
