Ahhh, those were the days, tippex marks down the tape player volume control to make sure it had a fighting chance, plus the constant fear that you may sneeze and wobble the RAM pack on the back. Kids have it too easy these days!!

Pete, Commodore 64, VIC-20 was were it was at such a great upgrade from the ZX, games on cartridge - SO, SO much easier and a real keyboard, not to mention colour (When I got to nab the house TV, otherwise I was stuck with my 12" B&W!)
