 Talk about a blast from the past.

Hmmm - not so sure about some of the nice comments about me in my pre-pc
days :(

 Is anyone else trawling through old posts now that Google have restored
 the Usenet archive back to 1981?  5 bonus points to the person finding
 the oldest SAM-related post...

Oh, where is it?

 My first one was 7-11-1996 in Reply to Ben Versteeg, the seccond one on
the
 14th of november that year was a reply to Aley Keprt (who was asking for
Sam
 Software), not the oldest ones, but i guess that those are the oldest ones
 from me in CSS.

 Oldest Sam relating post i found so far was somewhere in early 1991 (not
in
 CSS by the way), but there must be older ones.

This implies I  my Sam existed in 1996. Nice, I can't remember it. ;-)

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
