BBC Computer Literacy Project
The BBC have made available a large amount of content from the 1980s on this site. You will probably need to be UK based to watch the programmes.

Re: BBC Computer Literacy Project
Thanks for the link. Seems interesting stuff.
Re: BBC Computer Literacy Project
Yes, viewable here in the US too.
Incredibly awesome archiving project! I’ve dug out a few of these over the years, but it’s so good having it all made aacailable.

Re: BBC Computer Literacy Project
I mistakenly posted a new thread with this name earlier. It's rightly now deleted but I wanted to flag this clip from episode 17 of Micro Live, which features the arrival of the Spectrum 128. The interview with the PR woman is just amazing. They don't make them like that any more (the interviews, or PR women!): https://computer-literacy-project.pilot ... 2ed2ab5af5
Retro stuff, real quick

Re: BBC Computer Literacy Project
Just to make you aware that this series appears to only be available for 3 more months (not sure why), so if you have not watched them yet and want to, make some time over Christmas!

Re: BBC Computer Literacy Project
I accidentally stumbled upon this little snippet of the aforementioned Micro Live episode. Figured I’d post the link here:

Re: BBC Computer Literacy Project
It's great the BBC have kept many of the programmes available @Ast A. Moore!

Fred really gives Sinclair's Alison a hard time about the 128, starting with "why did you bother?"Ast A. Moore wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 7:19 pm I accidentally stumbled upon this little snippet of the aforementioned Micro Live episode. Figured I’d post the link here
Talk about hard hitting interview!

Yeah, made me chuckle.

Re: BBC Computer Literacy Project
Yeah, she seems to be getting a bit defensive! What she said about the joystick ports didn't make much sense either - Amstrad didn't seem to run into any problems when it put the IF2-standard ports on the +2.
Presumably her career with Sinclair was short and wouldn't have survived the sale to Amstrad. Anyone know what she did afterwards?
