Game of Jetpack anyone?
The blog has decided to upgrade its hardware, which means we are reluctantly dispensing with the services of our old Sinclair ZX Spectrum. 100 per cent rubber keys - a quality piece of kit.
OK, to be honest, it doesn't even work, or at least we can't make it work and it doesn't have any of the leads or the original 'power pack'. But it is a bit of home computing and design history. We'd love to mount it on the wall of Observer Towers but there's no room, what with all the stuffed animal heads, journalism awards and hi-tech plasma screens.
So if anyone can think of a suitable use for 16k ram of pure (broken) computing power, we'll bung it their way. Comment below or mail us.
Updated 18 March: Looks like we're behind the curve on the Spectrums (Spectra?) second time round too. We knew we should've gone for the 48k. We are reliably informed that obsolete geek accessories are going for a song on Ebay.
Ours is free.
