Internet isn't case sensitive itself. When you have a web address (http), it is sent to the server. If the server is Unix or Linux, it is case sensitive. If your server is Windows-based, it isn't case sensitive. Most of the http servers are based on Unix, so they are case-sensitive.

Considering the Lunter Spectrum Emulator is about as good as it gets, then a Spectrum emulator in Wincoupe with no disk support is a bit useless. Of course someone without a Spectrum emulator might not agree. That emulator is really good, but it is not free. I don't vote for SimZXCoupe, but I

I would be nice to see autoboot when I insert new disk (not after reset). It gets more complicated for disk insertions as it might require a reset to put the machine back in a state where the disk can be booted, and auto-resetting would be extremely dangerous! Why not just press the reset

You can use Wordpad to read the RTF, if your Word can't do it. I use RTF because its functionality is 100% the same as DOC's one, and RTF files are 5-8 times shorter than DOC ones, since DOC uses unicode. No, you are wrong. RTF functionality is not 100% the same as DOC functionality. No,
