and this one was a posh as the queen when it came out in colour :)
 
yeah and spectrums where amazing when you first saw one as they actually had characters in there games
and the first computers I seen where at school or the COOP quality house we learned how to right a program for our name then go there and put it on all the computers
the first computers where apple, BBCs and amstrads very very basic

It was like an over sized computer game. I only went to sign up for the drink driving to see how much free booze I could down before crashing, but all of them have been taken up ;).

Ps, really good wiring system.
 
just had the pleasure of going on the uni`s driving simulator. Million quids worth. it`s the closest you get to driving a car whilst not driving a car if you know what i mean.
it looked like something out of NASA. piccies to follow

For **** sake Phil how do you manage all of these things - Are you like an A-list Sparkie or something? If you're not getting your hands on the BGB months before us mere mortals; then you're doing things like this. Got any vacancies???

it was on the uni website mate. I need to find a flight sim next :D then the real fun begins :D signed up for the trials for the driving simulator in my lunch break. a tenner an hour to sit in the and not a splinter or dirty hand in sight :)
 
phil mate you never cease to amaze me

That must be some Uni if it can afford something like this, do robots serve you in the canteen and you drive about on nuclear powered skateboards from one lecture to another
 
as for the canteen, i stay out mate tbh. overpriced food. would be nearly 50 quid a week if i had lunch in there every day. so its a pack up and some of those nescafe 3 in 1 coffees for me.
 
anyone remember the philips videopac,got one in 80/81 its was class,mam was pa to md and we got one free,probably worth a fortune now,got ditched for a commodore 64 a couple of years later

Ken, get yourself down to BAE Systems. They are looking for mockpit pilots.

The rocket assisted ejector seat uses a small, controlled explosive to fracture and remove the canopy clear of the soon to be ejected (guess who?):D. The mockpit whizzes along at a cool 966 kilometres per hour. It proved that just 3 seconds after pulling the armed eject handle, the ejectee would be safely strap-hanging from a parachute well clear of the doomed canopy. In thirty test runs the system has passed all its tests. Good job I don’t drive faster than my guardian angel can fly!:D

:) i remember getting the jam out to try it but had better thoughts when i had spent all my paper round money buying the cd player :) still got nearly a thousand 78`s in the loft, and the don`t jump like the (un-scratch-able) cd`s :)

i love that noise when the record first went on :) my dad has got one of those usb record players so he can convert all his stuff into mp3`s. i would borrow it off him but would need a year off to transfer my gear over to it
