Heh, never knew that! > In the (unlikely) event that the machine I have to hand happens > to have been in the first thousand, then Bruce's birthday is > 17/7/48 and Alan's is 7/8/51. My original SAM serial is 170747382, which is the thousand before. My original floppy drive (blue button and slot flap) is 070850251, which is also the thousand before! I've no idea whether mine is first thousand either, tho I did order at least a month or so before the first release. I've not got any writing on the port backplate or one of the golden ASICs(?) though. > And on the other note, I've just received Sam Revival this > morning and I'm well impressed *makes note to send CP a cheque* Si
