Welcome to a new series: Bits and Bytes, where I take a look at random bits of Beeb and Acorn software, books, articles and other assorted odds and ends that happen to take my fancy. This episode takes a deep dive into the Welcome Tape, a cassette of bundled software that came with every newly sold Beeb from 1981 onwards. Enjoy!
