I have a commodore 64 somewhere in the attic if that would help

 

I loved their songs!!!

"You're once ... twice ... three times a laydee .... "

 

I have an Amiga 1200 upstairs. I once had a mint condition ZX81, still in its original box with manual, that I found at a car boot sale for £1. It get left behind (in error) when I moved house once. I'm gutted because it would have been worth a fair bit now to a collector. The Amiga 1200 never achieved cult status so that's worthless. Your C64 is probably worth a few bob.

 

I had one of those Clue!!! (ZX81)

It was my first "computer" (given to me by my big bro). I tried selling it at a boot fair once, but some slimewotsit nicked the cables while I was setting up

My lasting memory of the ZX81 wasn't that though ... it was the "rooobout" button (sp?). I wondered about that for flipping days .. then I phoned my Big Bro and asked him what the "rooobout" button was for?

His response (in a nutshell)



Thank goodness for the "universal" *delete* button we enjoy today

Ponders: How could a button labelled "rubout" cause such consternation? Must have been the lack of space

 

Ok, I am sad enough to have "googled" just to check my memory hasn't failed me ... here's my "roobout" button, in all it's glory

Youngun's today wouldn't have a clue what I was talking about

 

OMG!! Who knew you could "peek" and "poke" with one press of a button and a simple "shift" !!!??
