Ah a 128K spectrum that is just about the ultimate Speccy I guess.

Don't think that the ZX Spectrum or retrocomputing is over!

It's more alive then ever before! I can't keep up with all questions, orders, etc...

Now so many which had one back then, but didn't had the time, are retiring and have lot's of time and money for add-ons (mass storage etc) ;)

Se há computador que me custa ver vídeos, este 128K é um destes, há 10 anos deram um novo, estupidamente causei uma avaria nele, irritado vendi ao conteúdo todo novo ao desbarato, quando podia ter comprado um velho e reparado a board.

Mandaste vir de inglaterra ou compraste por cá?

@Archeogamer

Mandei vir da Inglaterra. Infelizmente por cá o habitual em leiloões são máquinas incompletas sem caixa e muito mais caras...

[Archeogamer]

@1UPGameOver - Aqui é tudo um roubo, mesmo com a procura de compradores internacionais, lá consegue-se melhores preços. já viste o leilão de um vendedor do lotes online que pede 5000 mil euros por um 128k? Uma idiotice tremenda....

[Saltor66]

Very cool!

I had 128K heatsink too!

The last real Sinclair.

@Saltor66

You're so right man... Even though I have the Sinclair PC 200 as well, but nothing beats this baby ;)

i never had the spectrum. after the atari 2800, i bought the commodore 64, and untill the amiga and megadrive/genesis arived, i did not felt the need to get me another console/computer :-D but i have been playing on a friends spectrum. i loved the rubber key's on the smaller version, but this one was better if you needed to type a lot :-D

@musicmaniac1965

The problem is that I never was much of a coder ... so typing a lot would be me playing a good ol' text adventure :)

[musicmaniac1965]

@1UPGameOver on the C64, i could do a few things in "basic", but indeed, the most typing i did was for text adventures, and the game that's made in my country (the netherlands) "Tempo Typen" (translation: speed typing)

@musicmaniac1965

Amd I remember the Speed Typing Lessons that came with my Commodore 64C bundle... that one taught you how to correctly position your hands on the keyboard in order to type at full speed no looking... :)

the typos were awesome...

Thanks m8, one of these days we'll have to drink a poncha together in Madeira, My wife's sister got married to a local, so now me,my wife and daughter have a place to stay whenever we go there.

[1msx2go]
