Re: Old kit

I've got a 2009 laptop with a paltry Core2Duo something or other which, after swapping in an SSD, runs along extremely happily on Windows 10. 50 dollarpounds upgrade versus 500+, and the SSD will live on in another machine when the time comes.

I do need to acquire/build a new battery though, it's long since lost any meaningful charging ability.

Re: Wheeled office chairs

They changed it back about 40 years ago, and it's generally interchangeable these days.

Don't mention the war. The first one.

Well, we didn't use it all, Oncoming Scorn. Who did?

I'm more of a pastry vampire.

Re: BASIC as a scripting language

Upvote for mentioning the QL. Lovely, albeit somewhat crippled, machine.

Re: 4k for a fridge?

No toast, no muffins, no tea cakes, no buns, baps, baguettes or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no pancakes, no potato cakes and no hot cross buns! And definitely no smegging flapjacks!

And being able to chuck assembler straight into your basic code. The best BASIC by miles.

Re: Acorn UI

If you left the battery in it, then it may need some rescuing first!
