I was hoping someone would get that.

As well as some creations from closer to the present... in virtual form. After all, at no point did I ever try to make a Minecraft base that was a damn-near-exact scale model of a ZX80, or any other Sinclair-themed builds. Oh no. Nobody would ever do that!

Who's going to provide the blue? Or... cyan?
Spectribution: Dr. Jim's Sinclair computing pages.
Features my own programs, modified type-ins, RZXs, character sets & UDGs, and QL type-ins... so far!

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :dance
Looking forward to summer later in the year.
