With fond memories of my youth, the Spectrum was the machine that started my career in programming, albeit that was on a rubber keyed 48k machine, and I loved it.

After some time I moved onto a +2, although I regret never owning a 128k ‘Toastrack’, and as such I am looking out for one today.

This is not my original machine, but was in fact gifted to me by a good friend.

It has been fully serviced and recapped, and currently makes use of a ‘The Future Was 8bit’ divMMC cartridge for loading software from and to.

The videos shown below tell the story of my adventures with this wonderful machine.
