Do you still have your Sinclair C5 too? You can use that instead of car sharing!
The only thing worthwhile that came out of the ZX era were rubber keys. Which should be available on laptop keyboards to eliminate key clack when you're taking notes.
i still have a couple of the silver rolls of paper used for the sinclair; first year college lecturer in statistics allowed them to be submitted for a project; he had a good sense of humour 8)

Bullcrap. Overpriced US garbage. ZX Spectrum was the machine of the people. Still have mine.

Oh you want to display something on the screen? I think you need Poke 63210,254, Poke 436578, 243. Sound you say? Try Poke 43765, 121.
Eyeing up C5s on eBay.

Typing 5 pages of 2-column hex listings from 2000ad, INPUT magazine and 'Your Sinclair'. Ah the memories.

Unlike Conor I don't still have my speccy, though I often wish I had printouts of those early experiments in programming.
