RE: Ideal birthday pressie methinks...

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did have...

ZX81 (with wobbly 16k rampack and green bit of plastic to stick on my
b&w tv
to give the 'green-screen' effect)
Oric 1 - vastly underrated
Speccy 48k
Vic 20
Amstrad 6128
Atari 512 & 1024

and a whole bunch of boring PCs since...unfortunately all sold, other than
the Atari 512 that went in the skip when we moved.

I had typed "Those were the days....." before realising that
makes me sound
like a right old fart, so I retract that comment.

Hmmm...

Somewhere I should still have:

ZX81 with thermal "bog roll" printer and wobbly ram pack.
Texas TI99/4A
Acorn Electron
BBC Master 128
Commodore Amiga 500 with 3Mb RAM and 20Mb hard disc (20Mb WOW!)
Commodore Amiga 2000 with 5Mb RAM and 173Mb hard disc
