Still with the AI voice this time (though there is a glimpse of my actual voice somewhere in the video 😅)

My very first YouTube video is online !
In this first video of a 3-parts series dedicated to Amstrad CPC 464 repairs and upgrades, I share a bit of history of the Amstrad CPC 464 and then fix the case and the keyboard of a CPC bought online. #amstrad #retrocomputer

I shutdown my birdsite account some time ago because as useful as it was, any kind of support for that yobbo…. Gah!
Let’s see how this goes.
