Re: April 23rd Spectrum Computing Competition Poll
Unfortunately, I have been under water, for the last weeks, and had no time to try them.

Crikey, I'm winning, need to consider uses for a ZXDandanator!
Is that a predictive text error, a colloquial phrase or have you been literally been on a submersible?

Attempting to use a computer while scuba diving can be dangerous!

I do Scuba Dive since 2000 (when I have free time), I have in excess of 100 dives, in several parts of the world,
I do use a depth computer (or two, a depth gauge and a compass), to control my ascent, time of dive, direction, etc ...
NOTE: I didn't count Scuba Dive gameplay, in the 80's

It's a loose direct translation of a Portuguese expression, that means, "having too much work to do in very little time, without time to do anything else".
Re: April 23rd Spectrum Computing Competition Poll
Very cool.
We should use that in the UK, we more commonly say "we're snowed under", even though we see water considerably more often than snow.
I found the process of attempting to translate OPZ fascinating. I've since had some very interesting conversations with the Russian guys about the 'quirks' that I introduced, a large part of it was what to call Horace!

The Arcade is fine and working
But I have not played with it for a while now.
I need to do some maintenance on it.
I have a new board to swap in, a new starter for the markee light,, 2 fans to replace, and eventually replace the sticks for some new ones, since the tension springs have too much slack.
