I used to have a Spectrum +2? One of the little keyboards with rubber keys
and a tape drive! Still have it in the loft at my parents with all the
original games too! Damn how I used to love sitting in front of a screen
blinking red/blue/green colours at me, screaming like a drowning cat while

Sounds like denial after the fact to me. If you believe these quotes:

That is the impression I also get. but that doesn't strictly
disprove the veracity of the claim on the other site
But, Eric, I'm not out to prove anything. I'm only trying to show Gates in
the worst light possible. My desire to do so derives from working day in
and day out with Microsoft products.

I have got a Sinclair Spectrum simulator for IBM PC and a bunch of all
these old games for it.
So, I am killing two birds with one software -- bring back my old memories
and don't have to wait anymore for 10 minutes for the game to load from the

Well, at the risk of sounding like a weirdo, I consider this a job, not a
lifestyle. I didn't get a home computer until I had to have one to log in to
work from home.
I remember looking at those Sinclairs, couldn't figure out how one of'em
could possibly be useful. Bought a new pair of skis

Yes, it was Bill Gates who said it, long ago. I saw it on one of those

As a former Tandy Computer Repair Technician, I
