This is an irl photo of my desk right now! 🤓🤘🏽

I wouldn't have been able to say but I just searched for 14 inch fidelity tv and I found a picture which confirms it definitely was. Well remembered!

Woah, my uni mate Stu (met him in 1989) came round this weekend with photos from back in the day. Thought I would share this one (late 1990 / early 1991) of him playing on my A500 (with A590 HDD). Looks my version of Tetris which I wrote in C.

Always nice to receive videos like this from friends 🤗🤓

Ah, after ages thinking about it and feeling flush as I sold a few things on ebay, decided to scratch this nostalgic itch!
Feeling like 10 years old again thumbing through this amazing book🤗
Wish I had bought it when it sold for £2.95 back in the day!

Great weekend with old and new faces at the 2025 retro computer festival in Swindon. Thanks to @heredragons.be, @shortcircuit.org.uk and everyone involved in making it happen. Look forward to the next event🙂🤘🏽

Not many people have one of these 👍🏽😅😅

Happy valentines to the longest relationship I've ever had ❤️
Joking but not joking 😂😂
#valentine #Oric-1

Amazing book was my main reference for Atari programming 🤗👍🏽
Here's my copy 🤓

Some people say the Atmos is the best looking 80s machine 🤓
But the Oric-1 below it is my favourite as ive owned it since new in 1983. I learnt to program on that thing and it started a lifelong hobby and got me into IT as a career. I literally love this inanimate object! 🤗

Anyone remember Amiga Computing? I got my A500 around the time of the first issue 🤓👍🏽

On the Atari 8 bits, this was not a good sign..!

I was exhibiting these at a festival recently.. In the middle is my first computer from 1983 which I still own! Learned so much on that machine 🤗
On the right is my latest computer, a homebrew creation as homage to Woz and other pioneers from the late 70s🤓

A semi-complete computer chronology
1) First computer in summer 1983 : Oric-1
2) Xmas 1985 : Atari 800XL
3) 1988-1992 : A500
4) 1992-1996 : A1200
4) 1996-Now : Win/Linux PCs
5) Until about 5-6 years ago - made my own computer!
The Oric-1 is the same from from when I was 12 years old!

Here's a picture of it in action - May the fourth be with you!!

Ah, Elektra Glide on the 800XL was one of my favourite games and best memories back then. This was the best version in my view. The speed, sound and feel of the thing, just takes me back!
