Wow, it turns out I tried to sell my Sam back in 1994 with a post to
comp.sys.sinclair, in which I offered it and my Speccy48k+. I sold the
Speccy to someone from Canada for 50 pounds, he paid 100 pounds though
because it cost 50 postage! Luckily nobody wanted the Sam so I've still got
it :-) I only wish my dad hadn't gotten rid of my entire set of Acorn Atom
kit in a loft clearout many years ago. I had 4 of them, all upgraded to the
nines and a couple of disc drive units and software. Lovely machines and
sadly they're all gone...
Cheers,
Steve
