Hi The Do Different Computer Show that was discussed on IRC has been cancelled. However as a replacement a Spectrum and SAM Coupé computer Show called ORSAM 2003 is to be held in Norwich. For details see: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/speccyverse/orsam.htm You are all warmly invited to come. At the show I would like to have a computer (Linux?) with a webcam and irc server running so that people in North America and others who could not turn up could take part in the show. Maybe a Spectrum or SAM could be connected to it take part in the IRC chat. I could provided a broadband connect only a few metres from the venue, a webcam, a computer and a spectrum. What I do not have is Wireless hardware, knowledge or much time on the day, though I will give what I can. Any help would be much appreciated.

Never realised that it actually made it into production !
I remember dreaming about having one when I had my 128K, but then I discovered the Amiga a while after and my Spectrum days faded into a distant memory.
Mind you the sound of a tape loading ....neeerrrr..ne....neeerrrrr...nenenenenenen. Has become so ingrained in my head that at one point I thought I preferred the sound of Jet Set Willy to the music tapes in my car.
I also vaguely remember a Radio (or was it TV) station that used to transmit programs that you could save to tape and load onto the speccy (or if you were feeling really brave load direct from the transmission)...those were the days, pah wireless networks...we had networks that used a Wireless !
Right, where did my slippers and pipe go ?

I can't remember which this was, but I think the BBC had gadgets for getting software off of teletext. They even tried PC software at one point, but it didn't seem to catch on.

Okay, if you get jet set willy to load etc. You remember it was using a basic loading screen?
Now, remember other games like Outrun which had that countdown loading screen? That was really scary in my days since you have to practically somewhat sit there and pray for it to load. I hated it when loading/games kicks in the 'reset' position. Oh the _pain_ of that.
There were so many different loading screens. Gotta find them all........

Over here, with a cup of tea and the usual grandparent's biscuits ;)
