@gloriouscow@oldbytes.space @fraggle's avatar always fills me with memories of joyous CGA sickness, days spent playing games on my crappy PC.

@futuresprog@mastodon.nzoss.nz interesting, but I have to admit I'm fixating on whether that surname is pronounced "fugue" or "fudge".

@essjax@m.essjax.com a lad up the road had a 16k Spectrum, and our mums were friends, so they arranged for him to come visit one evening and give our family a demo. That was me hooked. Xmas of '83 my folks bought me a 48k Spectrum, on the understanding that I had to learn to program it before I could get a joystick for it. It wasn't until decades later that I realised that, even though we weren't rich, that was a pretty amazing level of privilege.

As an anniversary gift, the wife I dont deserve managed to source a boxed 16k ZX Spectrum (issue 3) here in Aotearoa NZ, complete with manuals, PSU and Horizons cassette. Some very light & endearing doodling on the packaging by original owner. Predictably, the ribbons from the keyboard membrane have split, so I guess I'll be looking for a supplier of replacements that'll ship globally, maybe pick up a cap replacement kit and perhaps consider a 48k upgrade kit. Although, I already have a kit built 128k ZX Nuvo/ Harlequin. Might be nice to just leave the Spectrum at its original 16k.
