Just get an Atom. They turn up on eBay every so often and have pretty hefty keyboards. I'd like to add one t my Acorn collection, but just can't justify the expense at the moment.

LOL I see my ambiguity - especially in this thread. I didn't mean an Acorn, I meant an Intel :oops:

Although, putting an Atom into an Atom would be... atomic. Is that what you meant?

Posh boy. Get you and your printer, was it the one that printed on metal sheets?

We may have had a spectrum but we didn't have the money to randomly send off photos to Truprint to record the fact.

Edit: Out of interest, do you wear glasses nowadays. :lol:

It just occurred to me that I asked that question while having my face practically pressed up against my monitor.

If the C64 is getting such a make-over, then why not? I’m sure there are dead Atoms out there which you can modify.

No - but if you can stretch to the Sinclair ZX81, you can play the grand-daddy of all such games - 3D Monster Maze. It was really quite engaging at the time.
