this should have plenty of nostalga for every spctrum fan with BBC4, if it made bbc2 i'd imagine the price of them on ebay will rocket

It sounds interesting. We made so much progress in the last century, more than any other. It is nice to have a look back and see how things came about and to where it has led us today.

Recorded this and watched it today.
Found it very interesting, never knew that Curry worked for Sinclair originally.
Amazing to think that they (and all the other companies)went from nothing to turnovers of 93m back to nothing in about 5 years.
Commodore 64 was better anyway;)

I had one of those guys, when it came to maxing potential the Spekkie days cannot be touched, what they did with 16k and 32k was spectacular.
