An Old Computer And Its Short History

in #culture6 years ago

Thia computer is the TK2000, a very old brazilian computer that is a copy of a copy of an Apple 2.

Back in its days, Brazil had a more strict importing policy, so basically everything had to be made here, which means we couldn't get our hands on the most used computers of that time, being the Apple II one of the most popular.

But a few brazilian entrepreneurs used the sheets from a chinese computer that was a copy of the Apple 2 to make this, the TK2000, a copy of a copy, but considering the close market we have it was enough to get the job done!

Still our market is very protectionist and I hope for it to change, but this protectionism have put the brazilian creativity to work hard.
