Well done Nathan.

I looked up the 128 and saw mention of the Commodore Amiga, which reminded me of a tale.

In the late 1970s I worked for a local authority. One colleague was into computing. She and her husband were developing software. We didn't have computers at work. I think the nearest we got to micro chips in the office was when the typing pool was upgraded to self-correcting typewriters. The typists wanted a pay rise to work with new technology. They went on strike to get their money. That's another story.

Anyway, each year, in the run up to Christmas, our colleague would bring in an Amiga computer complete with joysticks and games, so we could enjoy playing computer games, such as table tennis and space invaders, during our lunch breaks. The Amiga generated lots of interest and a lunch hour stretched into 2 hours as we worked out shifts to try out the new piece of technology.

Certainly our lunchtime bridge sessions were forgotten for a week or two.

Heigh ho!

Tennis was a great pub game on large tables which supported the screen and payment slot to one side.
Love your new avatar. Hayles.

My dad said get an Amiga, it has twice the power of the 64/128 combined and has better graphics , also when I get this 128 I'm going to connect it up and start using it

One of our Moderators also does something like you do and he started this thread to show us his adventures.

Just thought you may like to take a look!
