The computer comes back to the living room
ANYONE OLD ENOUGH to remember the birth of the first commercially available and affordable home computers will have fond memories of gathering around the living room TV set for a spot of computery fun.
Dewey-eyed readers who once owned a Sinclair ZX Spectrum will be broadly split into two camps. Those who ruined their educations sitting up until the wee small hours having just one more go at Manic Miner or Jet Set Willy, and those who ruined their eyesight typing the reams and reams of machine code once printed in the pages of computer magazines using Clive Sinclair's squishy-keyed tiny black marvel - all just for the thrill of seeing a chunky, pixelated sprite moving around the screen. Some of us are guilty of both.
