    The most important machine in computing history[^] Whats remarkable is the selling price now is cheaper than the selling price then, even ignoring inflation. I might be showing my vintage here.....

    KeithBarrow.net[^] - It might not be very good, but at least it is free!

      Why not just pick up the original at fleabay? Edit: When the weather gets worse, I will take my copy of Jay Miner's[^] first chipset for a spin again. I never had one of the second 16 bit chipsets. For those who are confused: The first chipset was for the 8 bit Ataris, the second one for the Amiga.

      The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
      This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
      "I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

        Oh , I already have two in the loft. Just like the two in the loft, I doubt any of the others are 100% functional. Not only that, but I'd have to buy a tape deck...

          Tape recorders are hard to get by now. Did they use a regular one or did they have a special little recorder with motor control?

                      I think that was about the price when first it came out? Includes 'Chuckie Egg', 'Sinclair BASIC' and 'Game bundle (2) to access the device’s additional features and exclusive content hmmm...I have no desire to program in basic I wonder if any other languages will be available?

                      New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.1 new web site. I know the voices in my head are not real but damn they come up with some good ideas!

                                  For my old computer I now use an old notebook which loads and saves the data in WAV files over the speaker and microphone plugs. I also have a program that can recover the binary data from the WAV samples. How about writing a digital tape recorder program with which you can archive everything from the old tapes?

                                  The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here

                                      Forth and Z80 assembly, at least, I used them in the 80's.

                                          Mine (48k) cost £129.99, though the prices had dropped by then. The 16k version retailed for £99.99, but few games worked. According to this[^] ,they started off at £125 and £175 respectively.

                                          KeithBarrow.net[^] - It might not be very good, but at least it is free!
