Essentially, there is nothing the humble ZX can't do that, say, a PC can. It's just slower, lower resolution, and 2^1000 times cheaper. Also, I like my ZX because you don't need to read a stack of manuals to master it, both in hardware and software. It's a wonderful thing if you write in assembler, and among the gizmos I've added to my system are 2 good keyboards, an 8-bit parallel I/O board, 16K (eventually I'll get around to piggybacking another 32K above that), the only new $50 printer in existence, and a "robot" radio- controlled car. And all this for under $500, considering that I bought 90% of that stuff over 3 years ago! Beat that, PC et al! (Now if only I could buy about 128 of them and figure out parallel processing... (sigh) :-} ) Camille Goudeseune, 2054 Waycross Cres., Mississauga, Ont., Can. L5K 1H9
