All you have to do is blow on it. Blowing fixes most technical problems - tapes and cartridges that don't load, batteries that seem dead, CDs and DVDs that skip, connectors that don't connect, PCBs that act up, cooling fans that run slow - all sorted with a quick purse of the lips.

Blowing.....God's WD40.

I once read somewhere that hitting the tape softly against the table help unleash the stress (electric stress, I supposed) the tape had.

Because if the game didn't load it was because of the tape stress :lol:

Yes, most of us are probably thinking "Why the hell didn't *I* think of that?" :)

Hehe—I'd wear it. I'm even thinking about commissioning one!

In case you didn't know, yesterday was Christmas Jumper Day. I couldn't find a Spectrum themed one, so opted for a Star Wars XMas jumper, despite not being particularly fond of Star Wars.
