  • Amstrad PCW

    The Amstrad PCW series was a range of personal computers produced by British company Amstrad from 1985 to 1998, and also sold under licence in Europe as the "Joyce" by the German electronics company Schneider in the early years of the series' life. When it was launched, the cost of a PCW system was under 25% of the cost of almost all IBM-compatible PC systems in the UK. As a result PCWs became very popular in the home and small office markets, both in the UK and in Europe, and persuaded many technophobes to venture into using computers. However the last two models, introduced in the mid-1990s, were commercial failures, being squeezed out of the market by the falling prices, greater capabilities and wider range of software for IBM-compatible PCs.

    In all models, including the last, the monitor's casing included the CPU, RAM, floppy disk drives and power supply for all of the systems' components. All except the last included a printer in the price. Early models used 3-inch floppy disks, while those sold from 1991 onwards used 3½-inch floppies, which became the industry standard around the time the PCW series was launched. A variety of inexpensive products and services were launched to copy 3-inch floppies to the 3½-inch format so that data could be transferred to other machines.

    Joyce Moreno (musician)

    Joyce Silveira Moreno, commonly known as Joyce (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈʒojsi]) is a Brazilian singer/songwriter, as well as an accomplished guitarist and arranger. She was born in Rio de Janeiro on 31 January 1948. As of 2009, Joyce started using her full name, Joyce Moreno, for her future releases.

    Biography

    Joyce premiered in the late 60's, and since then has recorded over 20 solo albums, and appeared in myriad records with such artists as Elis Regina, Toninho Horta, Vinicius de Moraes, and Yoko Kanno. In recent years she has collaborated extensively with João Donato. Much of Joyce's work has been compared to the early boom of the jazz fusion scene in the United States.

    She got her start in music by listening to her brother play the guitar, as well as listening to Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis and Billie Holiday for inspiration on emotions conveyed in music. Many people came into Joyce's house, and she easily got swept up in the music scene, having had in her childhood great encouragement in music.

    Track Listing

    Amar (song)

    "Amar" ("To love") was the Portuguese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005, performed in Portuguese and English by 2B.

    The song is an up-tempo number, with the duo singing about the great power of love. As Portugal had not qualified for the final in the 2004 Contest, the song was performed in the semi-final. Here, it was performed third, following "Little by Little" by Laura & The Lovers and preceding Moldova's Zdob şi Zdub with "Boonika bate doba".

    At the close of voting, it had received 51 points, placing 17th and failing to qualify for the final, a result which meant that Portugal would have to compete in the semi-final at their next Contest appearance.

    The song was succeeded as Portuguese representative at the 2006 contest by "Coisas de nada", which was performed by Nonstop.
