Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Nothing compared with the Sinclair QL a few years later. (1984) Super QDOS and unreliabity and an amazing memory micro tape of stretchable 128K.
Where you had to open the box and push the chips in.
For somebody with dyslexia, it was amazing liberation, one could write and corrrect and correct and correct before printing a letter out.

Some unfair referees in Olympic.
Beach volleyball, Russia went out as referee decided a ball was in after initially saying that it was out. The mark on the floor showed it was completely in.
Last night boxing, Iranian guy who was ahead and was playing great disqualified by the referee. BBC commentator was astonished by the decision and thought the other opponent should be disqualified as he was turning around (180 degree) and putting himself (his head) in danger.
Is anyone looking at these decisions? It was promised, at the start of the game, that the referees will be fair.

Luxury. Many happy hours using one of those in the 60s.
Don't forget paper tape and the Elliot paper tape reader.

I think before anybody is let into Free Wales, or Independent Scotland they should have to pass through stringent Immigration vetting.
I suppose some would still escape over the border.
