I've still got a Commodore Vic 20 in the attic (next to that 'tennis' game where you slotted in a cartridge and you had these 'handsets' with a dial on them. You had to move the line up and down to stop a white dot from getting past. Anyone remember that one?

I also collect books, comics, stamps, coins, anything I think is interesting or useful at a later date.
Commodore??
That piece of trash?

I had a ZX Spectrum..

ZX Spectrum? That oversized calculator? I always had a problem programming with that. At least the Commodore had a qwerty keyboard :))

Ah, it all comes back to me now:
The soft, almost sensual feel of the Spectrum's rubber keys (and also the frustration when they stopped working..)

But it takes all kinds to make a world.

I wonder how long he's kept that bottled up inside?

Now that it's out in the open perhaps the healing can begin. Are there therapists for ex-spectrum users?

Sorry Sir, but I think it's your fault to become confused!

Of course,what your highness thinks can not be wrong.
 
I have a tin of," Pratts oil", and some ancient spark plugs that can be
dismantled, loads of heavy copper soldering irons, i am sure they will
be handy one day.

The keys on Spectrum's keyboard WAS made of rubber; besides, I was only 11 or so..

I beg your pardon your highness, it does seem a little exocentric, i knew an old
lady that collected news papers, every room was full of them, but she seemed happy.

You called me a LADY?

Ok i shall call you, Arildno the Red, as you are all ways grummpy. :biggrin:

Since my first name, Arild, is derived from Harawaldr, which means "war-chief", I can accept that.
 
Peace on earth, well all most, has that cantankerous lady gone? or is she going
to do an arnie.

:smile: What a shame for women if you were a woman!
