Really...! Those never made it into Belgium... Seems you guys had all the goodies and the crap was being send over the water for the daft continental kids to get frustrated over...

I had and still have in perfect working order a commodore c64, still got loads of games for it, can't beat dizzy. What I find amusing tho is the fact if anyone owned a tape loading games machine it would take ages to load and 70% of the time the games would crash before finishing loading, we would just accept it, rewind the tape and start again. But now we all moan if our pc's take longer than 30 seconds to boot up

My still-working BBC B still goes from cold to having the cursor patiently waiting inside the word processor in under a second. Why Microsoft can't even try to do the same baffles me.
