I started with a tape drive which was very slow to load, but who cared, you could do other important things like making a cup of coffee while you were waiting. I saved up and bought a disc drive which was much faster to load and did not give me time to make a coffee. The TV could easily be used as a screen. Programmes were smaller and had less features.

Those were the days. They had some really good games for their day. Eg Frogger ! one day we had about 10 computers with the Frogger opening screen on all of them going "nadeep", "nadeep", "naddep" ! (yes they were Indian frogs)	Digby (677)
