Still have a ZX spectrum in a cupboard fully working takes ages to load a game from the few that I have and most are available emulated on a PC anyway
BTW, Tony when did the Maths Tower go? And the Precinct bridge over Oxford Road.......?
To be honest I’ve no idea, I don’t know Manchester that well (I’m not from here) and I know next to nothing about Manchester Uni!
Dunno - but I was there recently with my daughters on an open day. I had been telling them that the Uni may not be so nice since a busy road bisected it - as I remembered from 78 - 83 when I lived in W Didsbury and worked at ICL West Gorton.Yes, I must come and see it some time. Unfortunately the only time I get Oop Norf to Manch these days is for funerals of my relatives!

I recall making an entry for "Young scientist of the year" with my then best mate in which
...
... had loads of glossy charts and handouts... and as we all know about such bollox having it "properly written up" and "attractively displayed" was much more important than the actual science.. story of my life!
2005-6 and there was quite an uproar about it. This little history site is quite interesting

Moberley Tower and the Refectory went soon after. They've not got to Owens Park yet - not quite!
I have a copy of Elite on diskette and if you want I may attempt to fire up my old BBC B and make a copy if a) it works and b) I have any 5.25" floppies.
...looks to be an online library of cassette games and a player that will do just that (link)!
I remember going into the Maths Tower for some reason, but we were in the Comp Sci building just to the north (apparently noted for being the most “bomb proof” building on campus). In ‘73 I’d chained my bicycle to the MT one evening...some b****** nicked it. Left me the broken chain though!
As for OP, I’m surprised it’s still standing.............
Yep...that was all I ever learnt in coding and thought wtf, this is well boring. The RCA Bowie albums were much more exciting.Anyone else do this at school?
10 PRINT "Dave (or whoever) is a xxxx"
20 GOTO 10

Haha! That is more fun, proper obscenities on public display.I never saw a computer at school, so I had to do it at Comet, Currys or wherever.
