Just had to mention a lovely little gem of a program called Pocket Clive which lets you do the ZX Spectrum thing on your Pocket PC. Now being in a new country with virtually nothing to look back on, this is a monster dose of nostalga for anyone who owned one of these little personal computers. You can go to the World Of Spectrum and get files to load into Pocket Clive, and some of them require actual loading time! You hear the tape loading in, and yes it did take the required amount of time. Although there was a lot less of the incantational behaviour that accompanied the loading of games years ago. Come on admit it folks, you did certain incomprehensible things, so your Spectrum would accept the programs you were so desperate to load into them. Those of you guilty of this know EXACTLY what I am referring to, while those innocents will have no clue, so I need not say anymore.

Tsk...
