Nicely convenient choice of search mate! ;)

No one ever referred to it as a Sinclair Spectrum, so let's just try Google Search: Spectrum is shit

Blimey, 68600 hits! 8O :wink:

And I still can't believe he drew a knob on Horace. Certain things need preserving for future generations.

Horace goes Bumming is one of those things. We need a Llamasoftie timecapsule.

And here's a picture of Alan Sugar and a 464, just so the CPC owners don't feel left out.

Oh, I've just noticed that Jeff's article isn't listed under guest columns.

A little question about submissions: how much care should writers take over the copyright of images?

Oh, and I agree with Giles (although, not having a proper garden, I have to make do with my trousers) :D.

We've been pretty blasé about them so far.

Hey, I was at least compassionate about the plight of Spectrum owners back in the day, as this excerpt from one of my old newsletters shows. Talking about the possibility of having some proper Commodore games ported to the Speccy:

" Lest all you ‘64 and Atari hackers cry out in horror at the very mention of the black-Frisbee-with-rubber-protrusions-all-over-it, don’t worry. I’m not taking time off from the real machines to do it, a mate of mine is a supremo Z80 hacker who was involved in one of the very few good arcade games ever to reach the dead fleshburger.... The conversion should take a couple of months and may shed a little light into the benighted lives of those poor souls living under the shadow of the Rubber Keys of Doom."

You see? I did my best to be kind to them, really I did.
