And as far as plugging it in wherever you are that has a telly, now you are discussing an entirely distinct and separate topic from the one that you queried, and I am frankly shock ... SHOCKED ... that there are not laws against such things in your country. SHOCKED! On the strategies for hiding the C64, which if I recall was not unimportant in terms of being able to plug it in at home, if you use an LCD television and have the a 64C sitting in a keyboard shelf, there's no telling that the compact flash adapter and hard drive interface is some wierd looking home brew thingy that cost more than the keyboard and screen as long as you don't pull the shelf out while the lass(ess) is/are there. What I want to know is whether this Babe Magnet effect is restricted to the UK Spectrums? If I picked up a Timex Sinclair 1000 on ebay, would that do the trick? Or would it attract Babes as defective as everything else connected to a TS1000 always seemed to be?

I think the key insight here is hexapodia.

(Something to do > with using words like "crikey", perhaps? -Ed.) Crikey would work well enough in this part of the US, as long as you had the aussie ocker accent to go with it. Yanks between the mountain ranges ("flyover" country to the people in LA and NY that make all those cr@p US television shows and movies) are suckers for accents that strike them as exotic. Combine an aussie ocker accent and a exotic furrin computer for walking around with like the Spectrum, and bob's your uncle.

Most Americans can't seem to distinguish between English and Australian accents anyway.
