We've seen a lot of these in the media recently, part of an ongoing campaign to educate the public about what is a real 999 emergency.
It might be hard to believe but these aren't prank calls. These callers actually believe their call is an emergency! They should rightfully be shamed when the nation points and laughs. They get a lot of media air play and laughs but underlying message only real emergencies please is I believe carried through.
Towards the end they brought out the A3000 which was very much an Amiga/ST styled machine, with floppy drive in the right hand side. There were even bundled games deals in highstreet shops such as dixons. It was too little too late though, the ST/Amiga had already taken over.
And there's the compulsory RFID biometric ID cards that are being introduced.
Scary times for UK especially as I don't see any political party, apart perhaps for the liberal democrats (but they're unlikely to ever see power), that challenge these encroaching laws.
Who do I vote for? I despise the UK conservatives, a greedy power hungry lot imo, but I'd instantly vote for them if their idiot leader, Cameron pledged to combat this police state culture. It seems everyone here is apathetic or all for it. I have regular arguments with my Mother who just doesn't see how our freedoms are being slowly whittled away.

Colour of magic and Hogfather weren't too bad.
Sounds like you've kept a personal grudge on these computers since childhood, what happened? Never got to play snapper?
