Great to hear of another Oric-1 user! :) Did you know its still getting software written for it? (Please tell me you didn't already know about http://forum.defence-force.org and http://oric.org .. in case you didn't, and you loved your Oric-1 like many of us do, then you're in for a great surprise..)
Also had the joy of VB 1.0 for work http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Basic#History
