I was 7 when that came out, I never got into computers properly until about 4 years later when I got the CPC 464.

I might have got into computers sooner if it weren't for dumb primary school teachers at the time telling kids that programming was for Tefal-headed scientists with foreheads as long as planks, then one day a mate across the road from me convinced me that you don't have to be a spam-head to build applications and games so therefore I was hooked.

rychan  A big Spam now? I'm confused Back in the 1980s we used to call people with big a forehead spam-head, we used to slap it and chant the word spam. When doing the slap thing we were said to be spamming someone. |
