    The abandoned all their belongings (cars, house, business, house contents, etc.) except for a suitcase of clothes and a LARGE lump sum.

    They did it because their eldest son had received his national service call-up.
    Too tight to pay a thousand Rand to buy him out?

      Well done!
      Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

            The only processor for which I made the effort to memorise the assembler codes ... initially on something from USA that came as a bag of components + circuit diagram and then again on the ZX Spectrum.

            Knowing assembler and a bit of electronics + a ZX Spectrum + a dongle that converted its output port into a bunch of sockets you could put plugs into = all manner of programmable burglar alarms, timers, train set controller...

            Happy days.

            Maplins has a USB port to bunch-of-sockets converter kit ... I was tempted to ask for it for Xmas. But what to make when I had it?
