OMG, many a happy hour wasted on one of these :-D I can remember writing a simple z80 assembler in basic (the basic program used about 8K of memory itself).

Kids who were better off bought C64's and later Amigas etc, all of which were beyond out means. Growing up as a kid in the North East (heavily dependent on coal mining and other industries that suffered heavily that decade) I was in a similar position to KennyR, I guess.

As it goes, I've still got a working rubber key 48K speccy :-D In fact, if you look here you can see the original packaging underneath the rackmount (I know, I should probably use something else to support it and not the venerable speccy packaging)...

Alas the speccy itself is across the room and out of shot :-(
