He had this, and threw it away! He just threw away the origin of the revolution called the Internet (ok, I’m emotional and exaggerating, but hey..) while spring cleaning!
Muscati spring DOESN’T EVEN EXIST IN THE GULF WHACHWRONGWIVYOU? You go an throw away A SPECTRUM+?! Man, I’m jumping on a plane right now to come to Muscat to beat you up!
On the other hand if you can retrieve it, I implore you to keep it (or give it to me!) or give it away to a museum or something, it’s such a shame that that gets thrown out. I remember when dad bought us the ZX81 and then the Spectrum, then Spectrum Colour and then the XL.. unfortunately we didn’t keep any, but I can tell you those were the start of my brothers and I journey into technology. What memories. I was the least active one in computers as well!

Please don’t make me feel even worse than I do about that. Anyhow, I’ll have you know that I did check on ebay.co.uk from time to time and they are always available often in mint condition very cheap, sometimes even in unopened boxes so I knew that the only value it had was sentimental to me. Nothing can replace the memory of my first ZX Spectrum which my father bought for me from Amsterdam airport’s duty free in 1983. This particular one in the picture was bought for me by a friend in 1985 as a gift from London (I think). It’s been back in its box taking up space in my closet for 20 years. It had to be let go.
You’re STILL a crim man! C’mon, fess up (I’m enjoying this immensely!! :D)
i would keep it , i like old tech stuff , but since mahmood now saw it , its too late lol …
Guilty as charged!
I don’t even remember where mine ended up.
It was cool machine though, beautiful mini disc, very impressive graphics and one of the most beautiful 3D chess games.
Aaah those rubber keys. Brings back happy memories playing Manic Miner till dawn!
