Take me back a decade or two
Just watched Tron on the Beeb. Takes me back.
Learned all I know about computers from that. (Which may explain a lot!)
Keep Matrix, give me Tron. Yeah!

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Ahhh...Commodore 64 computers (a step up from the Vic 20); new cars where you could look under the hood and still identify all the parts; income tax
wasn't much, and nobody'd ever heard of GST; no such thing as a Brazilian wax job on the beach yet . I'm sure there's
more...

About the same as they would of PONG . I had a ZX80 and traded up to a ZX81. I wish I still had the 80, they fetch good money from collectors.
