I returned it back to Sinclair and got a full cash refund so I immediately bought a BBC Micro Model A which I latter upgraded to a Model B spec and added a pair of 5.25" external floppy disk drives. Happy days no more program loading with cassette tapes. Things have moved on a lot since then. Now where I have mislaid that 64G USB stick! 861v6+ID40, HD621, 8000.2, 7200HC, 7200.2, SKYQ Silver, PS3, PDP-LX6090, QNAP TS870-Pro (86TB), Roon, iPadAir2. [In Reserve] C15, MD600 (23TB), TwinStore RM (2*2TB)

Ratbert Unregistered	According to the Amazon page the product dimensions are: 1 x 1.1 x 1.2 cm so kind of on the small side or a triumph of miniaturisation, hope the 'mini iPod' is included Ratbert

I wrote a whole new language for it, as an interpreter written in BASIC. And then lost the whole thing when the cassette it was on got corrupted somehow. Heaven only knows what I was thinking.
