It’s in fairly good nick considering its age. It may get another good clean now I know it works. My rather grand plan is to build wall mounted display cases for them and turn the house into a little museum. I suspect that Management will override this idea.

That's an option, I guess. Not sure I need one, though. There's just me getting email in this house.  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

I've got an Apple Mac 512k motherboard and an Apple II motherboard that I'm planning to put in display cases.  Some of you will probably already have seen this, but Digital Retro by Gordon Laing is an interesting pictorial overview of the computer scene of the 80's.

Archimedes? RISC PC? I know the Archimedes series were very popular. The BBC Model Bs were pretty much ubiquitous in schools.

I've seen that book. It looms interesting. I may end up with a copy.

Just had a quick look. May need to wait until I get a bigger house and have a dedicated gaming room/library.

HA the problem with a bigger house is that SWMBO just fuills the extra space with more of her @*&£$ think the only wa y I will get a room I can fill with my @*&£$ is if a get a good sized shed at the bottom of the garden and fit it out with power, & Broadband - one day

 True. I was thinking of a kitted out cellar actually, the GF likes natural light so she'd probably avoid going in.
