Good morning (10.30am here) Jim


I’ve just spent  a couple of hours reading the comments and the replies from people who were involved in not just the ISS, but also the way computers developed. Loads of personal history including Atari - my first buy - Amiga, Sinclair and many others some of which are (were) unknown to me.


Get yourself a coffee and settle down as many contributors add to your knowledge…

Did your part of the world hear or read about one of our more flippant nationals that bought a lettuce and got a bookie to give odds on whether the lettuce would outlive Ms Truss’s premiership? The lettuce won  :D


Well they say laughter is the only alternative to crying.
