To think us oldskoolers used to put up with this!

ah.. tape's. I remember using them on my Oric (better than a spectrum :-P). Was always really annoying to almost load a game and then it crash.

Best thing I did was get an Amstrad 6128 (128K as I remember, and an integrated disk drive). That machine was awesome. I even got the Amstrad monitor converter to turn the monitor into a TV, lol. Sweet.
