    solid man... :-> Anybody ever use a BBC micro? Was like the less fun version of Spectrum, i bloody loved it though, Chuckie Egg master! One of my friends is a well known games coder from back in the day - He goes on one at times regarding ease of coding for it - 'everything was integers on the BBC'
    Thought for the day:
    "Are you sure your sanity chip is fully screwed in sir?" (Kryten)
    FLTK: "The most fun you can have with your clothes on."

    Yes, I still use my BBC Micro (as well as my Sinclair ZX Spectrums and ZX81s), mainly for programming - although work is getting in the way at the moment

    This brilliant emulator may interest you and your friend:

    Chuckie Egg is on there...
