A metallic grey case and replace the "READY" prompt with "FIRE WHEN READY MR SULU" ;-) -- Best regards, Sam Gillett Change is inevitable, except from vending machines!

It is clearly a computer for the old and addled, harmonising well with their cardigans, liquidized meals, and surgical appliances. The Spectrum, on the other hand, is black. This makes it ideally suited for ninjas, special forces operatives and James Bond (it is also, as we have seen in some excellent photographic evidence, a babe magnet; a feature which would also be of particular interest to Cmdr. Bond). -- Duncan Snowden.

If he had, all of the villains would have found it easy to defeat him. -- Best regards, Sam Gillett I saw Sir Clive making crop circles, But they turned out square!! |
