# I think as I got older
I was allowed one of those big boxes which allowed you to plug the Amstrad into a telly and make it colour. But tellies were expensive, so I wasn't allowed to buy one for the computer.

Disks (3', naturally) were too much, though. I used cassettes, like all the cool people.

# Damn right
Kids these days, they never had to wait 15 minutes for a game to load and listen intently to metallic screeching to check you've got the volume right!

3" disks were an absolute pain in the arse to find after a few years, and became corrupted at the drop of a hat.
