Pico8 is amazing, it's a modern virtual console with a retro feel. There is a massive collection of games for it, some you need to pay for but many are free.

Stupid and dangerous. Maybe it's time for the rest of the world to instigate "regime change" by flying on and kidnapping the thick shit. Apparently that is ok now, he did it after all.

Tear it down! Replace it with a usable wing with offices for the first lady, you know like what used to be there. Get Trump will pay for it, via the courts if necessary.

Ahhh, thank you. Personally that nonce should rot in in a bucket in the garden of Marsh Farm if the house is not posh enough for him. He deserves NOTHING other than to be arrested.

Oh I 100% agree with you. Nothing beats the feel of a mechanical keyboard. But modern laptops are built to a budget. And there is this myth that all consumers want ultra thin laptops. I'd rather pay a bit more and sacrifice thinness for a mechanical keyboard any day.

How does i compare to the Sony Hit Bit HB-75p? On another note my favourite to type on 8 bit is my Sam Coupe, but that does have an aftermarket (and modern) mechanical keyboard replacement in it. using the original keycaps tho so it looks 100% stock

I now have 3 or 4 spare "probably good" membranes as I have not replaced one since I first cleaned the connectors... although replacing them is probably a wiser choice Lord Sugar really did scrimp on the cost of those connectors. Did I mention they are really crap quality!

I acquired a collection of membranes by replacing them when a key stopped working (Normally delete) throughout the 90's. I keep the "faulty" ones... only in about 2005 did I realise just how crap the quaklity of those connectors are... and how prone to oxidisation they are.

If that does not do it, then I may have a functional membrane if you wanna swap that too.

except mine has a very special mod to the setup so both A and B drives are brought out on the connector so I can attach 2 drives (One 3" and one 3.5" or a drive and a gotek) and have an ABBA switch added to swap between them.
