Yeah but, Speccy was (one of) the first home computers. SAM was one of the last. SAM was always too little too late. Of course this only became clear with hindsight. Bruce and Alan (and all the rest) gave it their best shot, and I'm sure that if it had been a year or two earlier or had been that much faster/scaleable it would have taken the world by storm. It didn't. That was nobody's fault, it was just driving in the wrong lane. -- Nev - please note that mail to address nevilley@ and anything containing HTML will now go into a spam bucket because of excessive email abuse.
