    If you want to see black and orange screens head to your local Blockbuster .... they still use 'em there ... :yes:

    As for Track & Field ..... I can remember many a night of frantic button bashing and killing of kempston joysticks trying to get a new record ..... :D

    I found a site that was selling brand new old stock ZX81's a few months ago! I think they were the self assembly versions, unfortunately without the power transformer (but you could source an alternative), but only £50.

    Oh, and does anybody remember Crash and Zapp magazines. For Speccy lovers, try this... www.crashonline.org.uk

    Mr_Wobble ;)
