All this z80/6502 nostalgia :-)

I fell into the computing world when 68ks were everywhere, the war then was
between amiga and atari, Ahh, i remember my old trusty ST, wonderful machine,
I'd been playing with fastbasic for about 4 months before I first saw BBC
micros at junior school. I was amased at how old yet cool it felt. wierdly just
as much fun to do stuff with as my home machine that had 10 times the ram and
an 8mhz chip.

speaking of bbc micros, I have a bush internet tv box that I found recently,
someone once mentioned that these are just glorified bbc micros, complete with
bbc basic after a shift-break. anyone have a keyboard for one?
