As much as I love the speccy, sadly I don't think it would be possible to get any *real* work done with it. Imagine the keyboard membrane giving out, or R Tape Loading errors on the tape with your precious data, or the speccy spontaneously resetting due to a wobbly interface connection, et al. No, I think I'd still be using it for loading up games, typing in crap programs in BASIC or trying my hand at machine code in Zeus assembler. :mrgreen:

You could absolutely get real work done on a +3 with it's decent keyboard and disk drive, I did. Not nowadays though! Not sure how I would have managed to complete my morning of web design I've just done on my old +3. :lol:
