Hi Rich / all
A wee Introduction forum might be needed.
Anyway I built a ZX80 and 81 as part of the computer club at school and I have been interested in computers ever since! God bless my physics teacher! It was more about soldering than understanding, although it did stand me in good stead.
Looking to learn off you guys in here and broaden my knowledge, every day is a school day, computer club or not!
Cheers,
TCF............

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
Looking forward to summer later in the year.

Re: Introductions
Welcome here, TCF!
Sounds like not a good teacher there, tbh... Teaching is about understanding the subject matter. If building things helps to do that by making things more interesting / hands-on, even better. But for teaching, understanding is what counts, not bringing home nice projects.TCF wrote:God bless my physics teacher! It was more about soldering than understanding (..)
+ Many. Try to learn something every day. No matter how that's done, and no matter how (seemingly) trivial/unimportant. Any day you didn't learn something, is a day wasted / a day not lived.Looking to learn off you guys in here and broaden my knowledge, every day is a school day, computer club or not!

I think the TS1000 primed me for my first business out of school. Having to add a "good" keyboard started me repairing and upgrading PC'S years afterwards. I am getting my equipment replaced as I feel I left the TS1000 learning project unfinished. Just wish I never ToSsed it out.
I have begun to MOD one unit and keeping some unaltered. Happy Zx80'ing.
