Today BDB Computer Systems is involved with the supply and maintenance of PC systems, as well as with ongoing software development, Web site development, training etc... BDB Computer Systems started life in Kimberley, South Africa, in 1982. Originally its primary function was the sale and maintenance of Apple II and first generation Apple Mac computers, together with the design and sale of software for them. In those days we had an innovative little program called "Visi-Calc". This was the forerunner of Lotus, Excel and the plethora of spreadsheet programs currently available. We would put the program floppy disk (180K capacity) in one disk drive, and a data disk in the other drive. If you only had one drive you had to play disc jockey, swapping between program and data disc as instructed by the program. There was no such think as "on-screen help" - so you had a printed manual to work with. The typical Apple computer had 64K of RAM - but if you had a fairly unlimited budget or needed..
