jesus rj, was learning to drive in '85.......

our school had a compooter lab prefab filled with bbc model b's on a network.. i managed on the first day, to knock up a program to save the login & password of the computer technicial(he had full system access, but it had no telltale...). oh i could save games, delete loads of my stuff that the teacher was using to see if younger students could actually better them..... yup, in 1984, i was a computer whizkid, but guess what, i got bored of them & decided i was more interested in general engineering type stuff and cars, beer & girls....but not necessarily in that order.

when i saw SON OF RAMBOW, i seriously wondered if someone had been watching us,

I was at a gerry anderson convention back in '94 and managed to pick up a signed copy of thunderbird 1, hand drawn right in front of my eyes. My mum told me later on in life that the artist got a bollocking because he wasn't supposed to sign it. I'll get a picture later.

did you ever see the one where they were in a theatre??? they did a shakespeare skit....

'to me or not to me, that is the question......' my eldest was about 3 & couldn't understand why daddy had just spat tea out and was choking....
then there was the 'you are entering a green belt' and as they do, a load of people in martial arts outfits are walking the other way.... the subtle stuff was great...

I've only recently got rid of two of these machines :-

http://www.palsite.com/vtc9300.gif

And about 150 of these when I sorted the loft in February :-

http://www.palsite.com/pics_tapes/tape13.gif

I still have in my loft my BBC B+ (64k of ram no less) ...

Complete with twin disc drive and 5.25 floppys :

My son has running round his bedroom my old Lego train from 1980 :-

Which is now worth about £300 on ebay!

I also have lined up for him for this Christmas a Galaxy Explorer :-

And I remember getting my brothers Chopper bike complete with 3 speed shift!

I always wanted a chopper but never had the chance to buy one, I head they were a swine to get into gear though.

And my favourite ZX Spectrum game was Alien 8 by Ultimate Play the Game , you were a fat robot in a 3d maze trying to solve puzzles - all on 48K of ram !

There's even some in game footage here :-
