Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

The first time I used a computer.When I was young, I remember playing a simple game in school in which an aeroplane would fly across the top of the screen, and drop a "bomb" which was a letter, if you pressed the letter, the city below was safe. A very simple game designed for five year olds on the BBC Micro (those were the days!)
What was your first experience of using a computer like?

not a BBC!The Vic 20 had an inverted version of the game called Blitz which came free with the computer - You pressed space bar to drop a bomb on the skyscrapers which destroyed them bit by bit, If you bombed them all the plane landed, otherwise it crashed into the side of the tallest skyscraper - possibly not a game ripe for a topical remake!
