Wondering now whether i should just upgrade the board of my issue1 #ZxSpectrumNext instead otherwise what will i do with it?

The magenta case does look awesome though. Hmm, decisions decisions 🤔

I’ve just backed the magenta ZX Spectrum Next even though i was an original backer of issue 1. Am i mad? Possibly. Do i care? lol (just don’t tell the wife!)

It must be really depressing to be a sane American and watch your country self destruct at the hands of the rapist and conman #Trump and his fellow Republicunts. Throwing #ukraine under the bus is telling every ally that the USA has fallen and no longer trustworthy.

A new flag to “celebrate” the joining of the USA and Russia. I call it The Czars and Stripes #trump #ukraine

I’m 54 and despite being heavily into prog, metal, rock, i can’t believe I’ve never discovered Ayreon before! The Human Equation is amazing! I now have a large back catalog to get through and i just know I’m going to love it all

I'm a simple man, or simply an old man but either way, bit of JetPac at lunchtime on my favourite ZX Spectrum emulator, RetroVM. I particularly enjoy that I can load the entire game in via the virtual tape deck and relive the classic sounds and loading screens. Makes me feel 13 years old again!

First post into the void. Gotta start somewhere right?
