Yeah it did didn't it. Was there anything bad about these little beauties? They were awesome. And to play elite on the original platform.... (well, the disk version anyhow, i'd imagine the tape version would be rather annoying). It had a very advanced BASIC for it's time, functions, procedures, an inline assembler, enourmous expansion capabilities (second processor anyone?) onboard provision fpr networking. Ah. One of these wonderous machines is basically the reason I'm an IT professional today. Again I say Ah. A built in rom filing system, with several free rom slots for eproms with applications on them. (I had WordWise, a nice, instantly avaliable word processor(non-wysiwyg though (what's the word for that? wysinwyg?)) and some sort of spreadsheet app. I always lusted after the many avaliable utility roms, but could never afford any.:(
Hmm. Why does everything look pink?
OK, so it was a little short of memory, (especialy if you had a floppy drive) it was expensive (who cares, my parents were paying way back then:) ) And it had no support for hardware sprites, so the games were nowhere near as flashy or numerous as for my Commodore64 owning friends.
Ah nostalgia! (I've been looking for one on and off for several years now without luck. If anyone in Sydney, Australia knows where i can get on i'd be interested to hear about it.)
Anyway, it's way past time I was in bed, Damn you Morrowind!!
true, but after 790 got thrown of the bridge by Prince, and reassembled by Kai, his memory was erased, so he fixated again on the first being he saw, which was Kai.

Hello!
