I had and still have a 48k Sinclair Spectrum (still works too!)
I think they called it a TS2000 in the states.
Now for that spectrum experience I use an emulator on my PC.
With access to over 10,000 games, inc THHGTTG, I am happy as an
80's spectrum user without the hassle of the tape loading problems!

I had(still have, but lost the power pack
, not that I'd ever plug it in again!) a TRS-80 model I. Never got back into computers after college(6 heavily drug influenced months in '85 ) until January 2000. I can't believe I was missing out on so much!
BTW, 'THAT' is beginning to smell funny, or is it me?

Thank God, I hate it when I smell funny. What kind of air freshener is that? It smells like old socks.

I have an idea. There was a strange noise outside my door last night, and it turned out to be a hedgehog eating worms or something. Never heard a noise like it. Could THAT be it?

I think we (well those of us without fins) should trap it, and release it a long way away.
I would love to help.
Really.

How do you suggest we - I mean THEY, trap it?

You could dig a big hole, cover it with leaves and branches and wait for IT to fall in.
You could hide a net on the ground, cover it with leaves and branches tie ropes from the net to a tree and pull them when IT stands/sits/slithers onto the net.
You could hide something in some food, wait for IT to eat it and fall asleep.
So many ways really. Just hold your breath and take a mop.
I just wish I could help.

Well, you know what? I am about to give up and just move to another flat a bit down the way.

Researcher 99947 Posted Jul 1, 2000
Well, I wouldn't say Scared... but THAT is rather a large inconvenience

Judging by the smell, I'd say its been used as a rather large convenience.
