Just added a Nvidia 512Mb 7950 GT card to it. It goes like stink now - Will ass another couple of GB of ram to it and that should be it for a while then.

nmos ones die if you look at them wrongly. 4116s and z80s interesting. I'd even do a legitimate business transaction with them if they were interested.

The only piece of kit I had earlier (joint purchase with a mate of mine), apart various Casio calculators, was one of these Atari 2600.

I had one of these - http://www.gondolin.org.uk/hchof/machines/oric-1.html
Not much software ended up being made for them hence I started programming stuff myself at the age of 10. Thus I joined the dark side.

The ZX-81 I'm keeping in reserve in case one of you pulls a straight.
I now use a trusty pile of index cards and an FX-4000P programmable.

FX-602p has got 512 steps of memory vs 105 in MK-61 there is also alpha ability in it, so it is much more advanced machine even though it was made earlier! So it's not really a raise, its lowering!

Beat my MK-61 instead - 105 bytes of memory (erased after it gets turned off, so enter program before you run it all the time), almost no characters, very slow, yet the games for it were exciting - I still have my book with hand written codes for it somewhere back home... along with around 400x 5.25'' floppies
