HI it's Karen here - thank you for your comments.
Since the article I have been sent a copy of the issue to autograph plus have received numerous very very nice and sometimes slightly weird emails. But mostly nice and very interesting.
The 16k ram pack - well guys you obviously have not got the knowledge I have.... unless I have memory loss...maybe it was the one on my ZX81 hee hee! See, old age catches up with us all.
Be assured that I DO still love computer games and I DO play them at every opportunity, I have a dancemat even. Problem is as you all will know or may find out, little children and high scores do NOT go hand in hand.
All the best to you folks and keep in touch, its great to hear what you are all up to
Karen
