Spectrums and home education

Post by ianace »

Hi

All, with the lock down continuing , I am home schooling a 6 year old and a 9 year old. My iPad packed up and Microsoft laptop “to old” to play some education software, I dragged the old grey +2 out with a pile of old education tapes, powered it up, guess what? No updates needed!! It just works, so started using maths and English soft ware from the early 1980s, kids loved it!

Got me thinking, any one else using their Sinclairs in this way, or using them for anything else then gaming?

Nice! It's great to see the Spectrum still used in this way.

Does anyone still use their Spectrum for any other serious application? VU-File etc?
