[DUG] [DUG-Offtopic] new PC

[Conor Boyd]

Nearly, but by the time I could afford one, I got a ZX Spectrum +3
instead!
 
Built-in tape drive, etc.
 
I remember those 16kb expansion packs tho'.  Wobbly upright things IIRC.
Sort of thing you had to prop upright/wedge in with a piece of lego or
similar!
 
Indeed, those were the days...

we got
