I totally forgot to post here...!

I started by stealing my brothers ZX81 in 1981, he bought it on the day of release and was bored of it, well didn't get a look in, a few days later, I can still remember the joy of copying across the code to make an analogue clock. When the 16k spectrum came out I bought my own and learnt how to write games from using the break key to dump existing game code to the screen and then edit. A spectrum+ and then a 128k was my upgrades before moving onto busineess machnes, cobol, fortran and turbo pascal, this continues today and I am still writing code today, a bit more complex and a lot less exciting, sometimes. Still have a ZX81!

Cheers and happy new year to all.

Hi everyone - Jim here, 47 from Luton.

My first computer was a speccy, my bruv had a ZX81, I went through C64, Amiga, PC's, various Gameboys and every Playstation, PSP and Vita. I have a gutted 1979 Asteroids tabletop coin-op, which I retrofitted with a PC, MAME and a few other emulators, so that's kind of amazing, not that I use it a whole lot!

My mainstay is PS4 which I still play quite a bit (PSN: MrJimmy, feel free to add). Looking forward to the imminent arrival of the Vega+, fingers crossed it'll be a beaut.

Cheers ears - J
