LOL.......Old relics that lived in a time without cell ph's/internet/email etc

I remember using a new machine called a Sat Nav that we had to wait sometimes 4-6 hours to get a GPS position from & then wait another similar time to get another position update,guess there wasn't that many satellites up then.
This receiver box was like 30cm wide x 15cm deep.
Now every man & his dog has 1 sitting on the dash of their car that they can later put in their pocket.

If anyone has a clean ZX80 for sale, please let me know. Or any other home computer from the same 70's / 80's era.

Would even consider a swap for a modern touch screen smartphone.

Hi Jannie,

I have a Texas Instruments 99/4A purchased around 1984. Complete with tape recorder (with a few games still on cassettes, although doubt whether these would still work), cartridge games, a large number of books with full game programmes. All in it's original box. If you're interested PM me.

Got a Phillips G7000 Videopac Computer. Think it needs power supply repaired. Was my intro machine in 1981.

Even if it can't be repaired it's beautiful to look at.
