This is a link post Realised it was the Spectrum's 36th birthday I made this!
which reminded me of Hey Hey 16k so I poked MJ for this thoughts via the medium of phoning him up. He had 5 mins before a meeting.

This is a normal post Also in a shameless plug, my Speccy game that made the b3ta newsletter yonks ago...
Can still be downloaded for free to play in an emulator,
but you can also now buy the remix on tape to play on a real Speccy!

This is a normal post If it's one of the original Sinclair versions or the Amstrad +2, it's relatively easy to replace with something modern
although the polarity is the opposite of most commonly-available PSUs.

If it's a later Amstrad, then it's a bit more tricky...you'd need an original or specifically-designed/modified replacement, due to the 3 voltages and now-uncommon connector.

This is a normal post Saw him sing his bit at the start of a '30 years of the Speccy' thing
on the South Bank (presumably) six years ago.
Then he fucked off.

The Rapsberry Pi people brought us CAYKE.

This is a normal post he's a nice chap
more likely he felt a bit awkward rather than he's a terrible human being

This is a normal post When I say 'fucked off'
That doesn't necessarily preclude 'caught a train home, put his feet up and had a nice cup of tea'.
