Following a conversation about ZX81s the other day, I decided it was time to fetch out my TS1000, so here it is with its 16K RAM pack. The composite mod gives a really good picture on a Samsung 940MW LCD monitor. Time to find an audio lead and a copy of Mazogs.

Hot on the heels of the tomato and fresh veg shortage, Tesco is bitten by a production issue at the Himalayan plant that produces the twists for its liquorice, and is forced to ship uncurled confectionery.
It don't taste the same IMHO.
