Nice work.. makes me want to go to a boot sale. When it isn’t raining.

That ZX81 was a nice find! I ended up with one that didn’t work, but bought a spare just in case(!)

As for the minidisc, I’m not surprised that you didn’t demo it, because they were notoriously unreliable mechanically.. mine finally made it to the tidy tip last year…

Thanks for your comments Numpty. Whilst we don’t always get things right, we do encourage people like yourself to take part and provide us with the factual feedback. Having owned both a Spectrum 48K + and a C64 over 30 years ago, we don’t always look deep into the core facts (or for that matter, have the time to), but reminisce about how we remember the good times playing with these wonderful computers. The show is about presenting retro tech to people who may have never seen this kit before. We fully appreciate that there are people like yourself that know far more than we do about this stuff, and we appreciate you taking the time to view the show and to pick up on our mistakes. We have fun, we love old tech, and we welcome all comments as we often as questions on the show.
