Great day at #RetroFest yesterday. Even found a copy of an RM Nimbus educational software that I developed with NCEC back in the 80s 😊

My gaster is still flabbered that I missed it, I actively look for these things. Obviously my eBay Kung-Fu is not strong.
Yeah, I hope they do too, but hopefully not for the type of nonsense prices these things are going for

You never forget your first love #Atari. Now geek enough to own all of the Atari 8bit range (well, at least the one's sold, still looking out for the 1450XLD)

It's ALIVE! The Research Machine Link 480z, a Z80 based computer built in Oxford and used in a lot of Schools in the early 80s. Supports CP/M, 640x192 "Extra High" Resolution Graphics and could boot a version of CP/M over the network (CP/NOS).
Learnt loads on this beauty back at School <3
