Tonight felt like a Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle 1982 night. Did you play?

quite, whereas modern calculators can basically run global air traffic control systems if they deign to do so
not much of a comparison

I think some modern programable graphing calculators are fairly powerful, to the point they're basically small computers. I mean the 2019 TI-Nspire CX II has 64 meg of ram & a 396 MHz Arm cpu, so maybe can't run air traffic control, but it's a tiny bit more powerful than a ZX81.

I had a ZX Spectrum, my cousins had a C64. I enjoyed both machines. Loved the colour palette (without clash!) and the sound of the C64, but the Speccy games catalogue was great. Each machine has its own, you can not choose one over the other.

I am looking to sell my Commodore CDTV Trackball / Transmitter. I have a vet bill for my poor cat Moe and need to sell this extremely rare peripheral to help raise funds. Please RT or tag your Commodore mates. TY, Ade. #Commodore #CDTV @ausretrogamer ebay.co.uk/itm/234546656482

It was all about K back then lol.
It's only 64k, lol.
Spectrum has 128. Almost like the master race now. An Amiga kid would pipe up.
I remember alsorts of crazy arguments.
I could barely join in.
I had an Einstein. For all it's 192k, we couldn't find anything for it lol.

I have vague recollections of seeing the Spectrum in Kmart. From what you wrote, my guess is that it didn't sell very well here. The C64 was available in a lot of different stores. The Amstrad CPC was only available in Billy Guyatt's. (A defunct chain of electrical stores).

In a lot of ways, we did more with less in the time of machines like this, and it was usually more fun.

Initially the Speccy was the one all my mates had. I can’t even remember why I chose the C64 for my birthday over the Speccy. But as time went on, more and more migrated to the C64. It wasn’t cheap though. I got mine and my first game was WOTEF. Classic!
