Its when Andy finds out that his whole guidance and flight system has been running on a Dragon 32 connected to 2 PP3 batteries...

 

I had an 80 and 81, got the 80 as a wedding present to myself..Twas my first venture in to home computing, er upgraded(?) to an 81 and brought the 16K ram pack with my first credit card. Didn't have a clue what to do with them initially, learned a bit of BASIC and wrote stupid programs to calculate mortgage interest....Yes I was bored..

 

The empty box probably has more processing power than the ZX80 these days

Nice looking wee machine though.

 

But hard to imagine there was more processing power in the 80 than what took Apollo in to space..

Just lucky they didn't need a ram pack...

 

LOL! I like it, Paul.



ABOVE: Shoot - who wobbled the guidance computer's RAM pack?
