I'll probably be banned for this...
...but I was a Commodore 64 kid. I never owned a Speccy.
UNTIL NOW. Or at least a few weeks ago when I popped back to Britain and bought on eBay a ZX81, a ZX Spectrum and a Spectrum 2a black (one of Alan Sugar's terrible models, but it was cheap).
They were all broken in their own special ways but I am slowly working on bringing them back to life.
Last year I made a web game called Seven Bins Sunak, and in January fellow B3tan Joefish released a game based on it for the ZX Spectrum. And today, after finally getting my Speccy fully working, I was able to load and play it on original hardware.
Happy days.

Took me a moment
I was about to write 'no, it's just 99% alcohol I bought on Amazon' and then it hit me that it is now beer o'clock

Who'd have thought that the rubber keyed speccy would lead to the techbro crypto ai hellscape we now inhabit?

Did you laugh at his Spectrum while claiming your Oric-1 was far superior?
