arfur mo Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 My first PC was a ZX81, when I left school in 1986. It had 1K of memory!! Dave hi Dave, by PC i meant a true 'compatible', i started also with the ZX81, then got the 16 meg pack and found out all about 'white outs'. but using the sinclair basic taught me an awful lot about logical programming steps and attention to detail also. moved onto the comdore 64 and then D128, Amiga before the amstrad. regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

IPAlarms Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Bit like Tesco destroying all the local corner shops, but people are not really that bothered. Tesco are a massive dommination is the Supermarket sector, I wonder if the EU will shortly force them to sell Sainsburys products, I think not. I am living in Thailand at the moment and Tesco have almost killed all the local traders who are now fighting back. The government asked Tesco to voluntarily stop building any more stores for one month whilst they review the situation. Tesco told them where to go. Now there are calls to re-introduce some old laws that restrict dominant trading from overeseas companies - so it could all end in tears for Tesco. By the way - you guys have made me feel young again by sharing your computer memories. I'm still upset about the Free Alarm Monitoring over the Internet from IP Alarms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
