Anyone else working this weekend?

[Paddy]

I never had ZX81 - wanted Atari based computer, called an ad for a guy who was selling Atari and colour TV in early 90s, he quoted price that was like annual salary of my both parents

It was tulip architecture anyway - some years later I got finally PC at home and that's when the legend of SKA has begun...

I paid £10 for a broken ZX81. I bought a Vero Board (BCP) and 50 + push switches (about £5) to make a home-made keyboard. It had about 30 connections that I soldered to the main board.

In Soviet Unions they were giving 10+ years in jail for hard currency spekulants

Easy money!!

If I knew what one of those was I could answer you. I would explain some of what I do, but as you are so glacially slow on the uptake on most things, I shan't waste my time as it would go so far over your head it would leave a vapour trail.

Keep your peanuts. You might need them as a deposit on your next bedsit. I'll stick to my luvverly Banana Bread Beer!
Mmmmmmmm.....shlurp!!

I can see clearly now (not that I needed this confirmation) that your schooling was very poor - had you been through Soviet school you'd know how to give very good asnwer about things you've never heard of

That is because, when you go through Soviet schooling, there are so many more things that you've never heard of.

HTH

Queues was one thing I won't have to hear or see ever again when I escaped to UK from the Soviet Russia

Queueing to get into a bus was sure a novelty for me - at first I thought: BINGO those old ladies got no chance to get into the bus first before me!
