Ah, the memories. KC85/4 here, it even had a floppy drive!
(Not that I ever needed to change the floppy, I just didn't know what to
do with all that storage, as I couldn't write 786kB of code at the age
of... er... seven)

Also, I'll never know how my dad got hold of a ZX Spectrum in East
Germany. I'm kind of sure it's the only illegal thing he ever did in his
life.

Thanks guys, I'm not feeling old anymore...
