Reflecting on old computers
Great entertaining episode, I remember when I had a Sinclair ZX81 where the best add on RAM was 16kb and you had to buy UK Sinclair magazine to write your own games in BASIC. A different time.

Epic episode
Fun and full of good mischief
This podcast series is a good listen. Possibly a good idea to tell the audience that it’s very Auckland-centric and largely for people who grew up in the last 30 years. The X Generation have aged out and the boomers don’t get a look in.
