Ahh, the delights of the ultrafast 300 baud or 75/1200 baud modems :lol:
Although it was long after this that I actually got a modem.

I don’t remember this particular TV programme, but I do remember a computer TV programme in the U.K. that also broadcast computer programs via the TV audio. I’m sure this was on Channel 4 on either Saturday mornings or Sunday mornings

In later years I use to connect to the Maplin modem in order to buy electronic parts. Very handy, as their computer system could tell you if they had the part in stock, so in the middle of the night, you could order the bits for your latest project :D

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.

And an epic unboxing from 1985 of some computers including a Sinclair QL (this shows unboxing wasn't invented by youtubers...)
