Kind of like an early iMac. These machines had a built-in BASIC interpreter and I also did quite a lot of stuff in assembly language.The Intecolor was the larger more powerful one with a built in 19" color screen. We updated it to support high resolution graphics (480x320, 8 colors). It was a very advanced bit of hardware for the time, 1975 or so. I was about ten at the time.
