Sorry I only just saw this now, I've been terrible over the xmas break
for
not being around BBS-land at all.

Ditto. haha :)

They were absolutely brilliant. I spent so much time with them in the classroom, learning BBC basic. Aside from QuickBasic (which came out _maaany_
years later), BBC basic was the best basic around IMO.

Yeah I was amazed by playing with the emulator that a lot of the features
that I thought were very clever in the 32bit Archimedes' were in the 8bit machines too!

Hope your two beebs are going well now and I look forward to having my
own one day..

You're right about the cost of shipping from the UK for them... And
some things are taking forever... Just before Xmas, I paid US$72 for some
c64 carts with 3-5 day shipping. Well, they arrived on the 5th of Feb.. :p

My master is working great. The Model B still has some fixing to do.
Something with the ram of the character generator I reckon.

Cheers!

Bummer. :(

Well, if you want to sell it to me, I'll take it to the guy who restored
your Master. :)
