Thats the main reason i still like the BBC's i managed to put 240VAC into the middle of one meny years ago, and it cost me a total of £6.00 to fix, those where the days LOL, try that with a PC and kiss the entire machine goodbye :)

Those were the days...

I did my PhD on a BBC Model B with 64K RAM. It lived in the middle of the labs, had acid, blood, PTFE solution and tea spilt over it on a regular basis and it never ever faltered. The main problem, as I recall, was the BASIC interpreter had a 'number of lines' limit so you had to put multiple commands on the same line to try and force more in.

Don't make 'em like they used to...
