Hello from newcastle upon tyne

Post by tiger123 »

Years ago I had a sinclair spectrum computer on which I taught myself some basic which I would make my simple programs.Ive now got myself 3 modern computers which are useful for some things but no good for making programs in basic so ime waiting for a sinclair spectrum computer which I have purchased from ebay to arrive. Ive joined this forum for help with setting it up. I have forgotten how.

Welcome to our forums
Hmmm Newcastle upon Tyne, that sounds familiar.
Been there several times by ferry from IJmuiden.
Once even by recumbent bike.
Always for a holiday, so rather good memories.
We are trying to help as good as we can.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

I also interested in BASIC and its dialects on retro platforms - at me now 8 different retro computers with BASIC. As for me - best choice is MSX BASIC. I do not like Microsoft, but their BASIC for MSX2 is really good. BASIC for ZX Spectrum is also good, but not so functionality with graphics as MSX. Anyway welcome there and good luck in programming for fun.
Sinclair ZX81, Sinclair QL, Sinclair ZX Spectrum +2, Atari 130XE, Commodore 64C, Commodore C128, Yamaha YIS503IIIR MSX2 & etc
