NV, I still have recurring dreams about going into John Menzies and looking at all the fresh new monthly computer magazines and mostly Sinclair Programs I looked forward to the most.

Nothing like a couple of hours typing on your ZX81 only for a ram pack wobble to crash the puter and lose the lot

haha, my zx developed a dodgy power lead. I used to have to prop the cable up with something, one false move though and zap off it all went.

Inspired by this thread I started experimenting with OCR to see if I could convert some old magazine listings into some kind of usable format for an emulator. And it kind-of worked, albeit with a lot of post-conversion editing to remove random spaces and characters.
Of course the first program I tried flat-out refused to run properly at all, haha. It was ever thus.
