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.

Its crapness was more due to its propensity to jam in sandy/dirty/cloudy/anything other than 25 degrees and pleasant sunshine conditions.Oh, and the magazine release catch is on the left side of the body and early versions weren't recessed, so anyone right-handed running with one could accidentally release the mag, say in the middle of some woods, without knowing it. This goes down well with senior NCOs.
Mind you, it still wasn't as bad as the L98 version given to cadets. It jammed so often it might as well have been made of soft fruit and sugar.
