    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.....

            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
                        This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

                                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.

                                          Ahh fun! I remember having to memory upgrades for a couple of friends who had the 16K version to 48K, the sockets were there but no chips. I did do a mod for the key board to one of them as well! Oh those were the days!:thumbsup:
