Old stuff I still knowOur Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

Call of the tape relayCALL &BBC4 would send most Amstrad CPC464s into an endless loop of display-flickering, tape-relay clicking weirdness. It didn't work on the very first (checkerboard on Ctrl-Shift-Esc) or last (horrid horrid keyboard) models of the 464, and on the 664 and 6128 it did nothing.
I can still remember the address of Colin "Bonzo Meddler" Harris, who wrote a bunch of tape/disk cracking tools, and sent a whole bunch of "special" things to his better customers.
|P would fire up Protext. Yes, I had so many ROMS that the welcome screen would scroll up when I powered on ...
Oh, and Z80 opcodes. I can still disassemble Z80 hex in my head. This stopped being useful more than half my life ago, argh.
