Gordon here - older engineer - bought a ZX Spectrum in 1982 with 16kb RAM - still lots to learn!

Hi! Welcome :) I was born in 1982.

Hi Gordon, don't get me started on old computing kit. I collect it, but mainly from the video gaming perspective. That said, I do have a range of Speccies up in the attic, about 20 in full working order and most fully boxed, plus at least 50 for spares. My wife thinks I am a very sad bloke, although the UK Museum of Computing prefer to think of me in terms of a useful chap to borrow display items from :)
Anyway, welcome to DaniWeb!
PS. Dani, I would hate to have been born in 1982 as I would have missed enjoying being a teenager during the birth of punk rock in the UK. Some of my fondest memories include seeing bands such as The Damned, The Clash, The Stranglers and The Sex Pistols live in their prime. Of course, not being born in 1982 does have its downsides, mainly to do with being old...
