The CHEEK of it!

Once upon a time, I wrote (and published) a short piece of code to switch
the SAM into Spectrum mode.

Bob published an (identical) piece of code in Format under the name Ken
Elston.

And claimed that I'd ripped Ken off.

There's not that many ways to write that switch code (it's only 15 bytes or
so)... but really.... !!!!!!!!
