@tirclachan I think you think to much. Enjoy the song.

I can presume, from basic coding experience gained from TI-BASIC that that bit of code at the end is the equivalent of :0->N:Repeat N=2:Disp "Those Were The Days":N+1->N:End

my ti 84 plus uses 1 byte per character! I would LOVE 16 extra K
-
@KisseroBahiense that would be it... i remember them being released well after Amstrad's 6128. by the time they were on the UK scene, early 16 bit kit was starting to become available... Amiga, Atari ST etc.

@alcockell MSX was released in 1983, not 1986... maybe in 1986 was known in England? (sorry for my english)
-
@KisseroBahiense MSX was released later on - in about 1986 - and lost out. They never really took off in the UK in the same way.

I wonder what this has with the term "16K"??
Maybe they meant 8bit?
It does NOT make a sense. 16K is memory size of ZX81. But they're showing us ZX Spectrum screenshots of games which in fact is 48K or 128K. Nor to mention that it's not only about ZXS, but other 8bit computers like commodore, atari etc.
So, I think someone missed something. I suggest it would be "8 bit" rather than some "16K"
What do you think?

I dunno. They're definatly talking about the memory not the processor - "16k...you need more than that for a letter". So maybe one the eariler computers mentioned had 16k of ram....and the screen-shots are from the later, more grapical, machines..?
