Yeah, we had a B+ which was better than a B in some way except that many of the games you could buy wouldn't work on it for some reason  Elite and Revs did though so that was OK ;D |

Excellent!

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

I got taught I.T.(?!) on BBC Master when I was at school!
I had elite on my commodore 64, it was the biggest game I'd played at the time (until all my mates got Amigas)

I used to write porgrams for them, wicked bits of kit and quite powerful really, even compared to todays standards.
yes the 32K games did not work, for a while, however there was a method in which you could fool the system into thinking it was a 32k based one.

I still remeber going into electrical shops when they just started stocking computers and doing the old trick -
10 print 'dixons sucks'
20 goto 10;
Is that right? We looked like evil computer geniuses for about a month!
