They where the days

they were wasnt they, hours of typing in basic programs from magazines, or 20 minutes to load something from a cassette tape, which usually failed cos the tape had stretched slightly so the signal was not read correctly.

Then the 'Rem' line when typing in machine code, all those '0's to create memory space at the beginning.

Had a ZX81 followed by BBC B

I had a Sinclair Spectrum with a massive 8k memory pack, cost my mum and dad loads

It had a huge 3.5 MHz processor ( I believe) such power

If you ever manage to read the Sinclair Spectrum manual though, somewhere in the book it says a computer will never have enough ram to hold anything other than a few words

I always remember getting my first hard drive for the commodore though, £120 it was and was 20 meg in size and wow was it noisy

Never rode a RD400 but you could ride the RD250 with a provisional license on "L" plates then, they changed the law because of this 2 stroker.

i grew up on it as my dad was into the old school stuff, cause that all they had in them days lol both my brothers are into metal too which was ace cause i used to get to go to gigs when i was young cause they'd take me and my dad would have never let me go with mates

i dont think your music tastes really change that much, you like what you like and it stays with you for life

i could never imagin liking chart music, even tho my kids keep telling me at my age i need to settle down and be a proper mum lol

Not sure where you would put us but if you could dance to the music we liked it. At every opportunity we would be out in a club and on the dance floor. Loved F.G.T.H and the early Bon Jovi stuff.
