I'm only using a Amstrad 386 system with built in megadrive and I'm happy to have it. Fast enough for email and a bit of browsing. 4MEG is ample. 166 indeed thats a bloomin powerhouse of a computer. They don't know there born nowadays. I remember when you could get into the cinema, a few pints of beer and a 3 course meal for less than half a crown.

I couldn't afford an all singing all dancing machine. I visited sunday boot sales. Picked up a cheap motherboard here, a proccessor there, etc,etc. My machine cost less than £100.00. It can be done. It is also slow by todays standards. And I also remenber those days, plus taking ration books to the shop for my mum. Bob Wilkinson. (getting cranky)

(getting cranky) Car boots I went to one of them but I found the field too bumpy for my penny farthing so turned back. when I got home me and the family got round the old piano.
