Re: RIP Daren Pearcy

So sorry to hear about Daren,

Myself and my frend Keith submitted a lot of rzxs about 12 or so years ago and always had good conversations with him. He is another of the original retro scene gone far too early.

All my best wishes and prayers to his family,

Re: Oliver Frey artwork

I Did buy a bit of Oli`s original Artwork about 12 years ago, the Hunters Moon Cover from ZZap64, though it was expensive it was nowhere near the price on ebay for that artwork.

more in the 300-500 range

though my memory fails me :-)

Re: Recovered a ZX Spectrum+ from an abandoned attic

might be easier to buy a new membrane for around 16 pounds and these are much more reliable and are encased in a sturdy plastic.
