Some new/old light reading material just arrived.
I fully intend to be programming in style in no time at all!

As a twelve year old in 1986 we had a BBC B in the house, but when I got to use a Master Compact in my local computer shop when it was released, I *really* wanted one!
This Acorn User cover became my favourite. It only took me about 35 years but I eventually got a Compact!
The things you have on your shelf...
This lovely old ZX81 was given to me several years ago. I never owned one originally, my dad instead saved his pennies and bought a BBC B.
I'm feeling the need to do something with it.
So if I can ask the ZX81 collective fan club hive mind, where's a good place to start with one of these?
I'm still amazed that a TRS-80 Model 1 level 2 still in its original box ended up landing on my doorstep.
The computer needed a little TLC. A duff RAM chip and an IC in the video output circuit needed replacing. Both now done. Back to fully working!

Found a little light reading amongst my donated Tandy gear.
Found an old photo of my Model B, Sanyo Monitor and Epson RX-80FT printer.
Sometime in the mid 80s I think.
Can't remember exactly what I was doing on it here but I was hacking something into Wordwise by the look of it.
Sadly it was all sold off a few years later to make way for a boring beige PC box.
