[venger]

I forgot how much the +2 cost when it first came out.

Oh and the 10 print "Whatever word"

20 goto 10 thing. Yeah That is legendary.

Here's a funny thing I used to do in college.

I went to do a national diploma in computer studies waaay back in 1994. We did programming.

Oh the japes I got up to. I'd type up a program that would annoy the hell out of the next class.

I'd make it so the PC would have a loud sound that would require the PC to be shut off at the mains. Oh how I laughed to myself.

[interghost]

ha ha.. its so cool isnt it.. we used to do that too.. program the BEEP on the speccy to get higher and higher until the shop assistant had to come over and turn the thing off to stop his ears bleeding ha ha ;o)

[braineaterknux]

I love these adverts.

[interghost]

Cheers mate, I have more to upload too... And Ive figured out how to make them full screen now too.. ha ha! ;o)

[UKCardCollector]

160 notes! jeez! those where they days eh? lol :0)

[interghost]

Yeah right.. that was a small fortune in those days. I remember my brother and I got one to share as a main present one christmas! Cool ;o)

[mathowlett]

I remember going into Curry's and seeing a Sinclair C5 for the first time :-)

[interghost]

Yeah, those were the days weren't they!

I used to love going in and playing the games they had on display. They never left the joysticks plugged in though so you had to use the keys! ha ha ;o)

[mathowlett]

.. or doing something like...

10 PRINT "TITS"

20 GOTO 10

That was pretty anarchic for a 10 year old. Not like nowadays where they set fire to policemen for fun.

[interghost]

Yeah right... ha ha

I used to do that... I put that in the description too.. cool ;o)
