[DUG] [DUG-Offtopic] new PC

[Jeremy Coulter]

for out 16km expansion pack we tried blue-tac and cellotape to hold it in
place and drilled holes in it to keep it cool. In the end ..... we bought a
Spectrum......then did the 48kb mem upgrade.....smoking !!  :-)

I remember a mate of mine spending all day entering in a hundreds of lines
of code from a magazine for a program, and his dog tripped over the power
cable......hahahaha....those were the days :-)
