# Oddly, yes, I noticed that once or twice.
that's what is so great about the UK, so few people speak even one language properly.

and we still had a mixture of Archimedes and BBC Masters.

# We had 2 computers at school when I left
and there was no class teaching anything about them. We had to join the 'computer club' Which comprised of me, 4 mates and an odd Russian girl plus the teacher who bought our computers which were...
wait for it...

Commodore Pet 4s

# We had PETs at school
They were fucking heavy. We had to carry them from the computer lab to the computer classroom 'cos the teacher was a fat lazy cunt who taught us nothing about computers and failed us all cos we programmed our shit programs in BASIC on ZX Spectrums and C64s.

But I'm not bitter.

# I'm not bitter.
I'm probably a bit older than you and computers were just some odd calculator back then. What it did do was introduce me to BASIC and also to Commodore and so my lifelong love affair with all things AMIGA.

# hehehe, I'd spend too much time playing that if I got anywhere near an arcade.
Later, I had it on my Atari ST, and would play it non-stop, then, a few years back, it came with Rogue Squadron 3 on the gamecube, and I played it to death :D

CLASSIC game

when I came home on leave I would head to London and go to the Trocadero. To bankrupt myself on this.
