How to get Sinclair programs off the net and into my Sinclair(s) ?
How do you take the Sinclair programs that are on the net, and get them into a audio file to load into a Sinclair? I would like to put some on a CD, or better yet on my iPod.

UNIX for the Spectrum, called Spectrix, will be released on April 1st, 2004, by Sinclair Research. Apparantly, it's part of the 20th anniversary celebrations.

Why was the Sinclair Spectrum so successful ?
I don't understand : The Spectrum has ugly graphics that are worse than graphics of early-80s handhelds. The sound is so bad, it should be considered a WMD , because it can cause ear-cancer and AIDS. And the keyboard, oh yes, you cannot call it a keyboard.It's a joke!!! The RAM - 48K, come on, this was ok for the 70s, but not the 80s! The CPU - a lame Z80, oh no! Mass-storage on TAPES ? Come on, all the other computers had DISK drives, even the systems from the 70s like the Apple 2 or the ATARI 800. No sprites, no scrolling, no specials chips - come on, even the 70s computer from ATA...

Does the Queen have a Sinclair Spectrum ???

Every month or so, using a fictitious name, this troll floods 5000 newsgroups (all cross-posted to a single low-traffic but unrelated newsgroup) with superficially relevant comments. The purpose is to disrupt with off-topic crosspostings. Like all trolls, he means to annoy and disrupt. The tracking newsgroup is the way he "keeps score" of how much damage he has caused.

Free Sinclair User booklets
Hello I'm having a clear out. I've found five Sinclair User booklets, about 4" by 3". They're titled 'Top 50 - Sinclair User Classics'. Four of the five are white, and the other one has a brown cover. They've all got one game per page, half page screenshot and then 50 words or so of text about it. One of the white booklets has a damaged back cover but is otherwise okay. So, if anyone wants one before they go for recycling, email me through: http://www.sean.co.uk/contact.shtm (don't just reply to this posting or email my posting address). Send me your postal address and I'll send you one. First response gets best quality and so on.
