This is the spectrum 48k page. My 48k is a bit of a mix really. The motherboard came from a rubber keyed spectrum, but it is in the case of a spectrum + as i can't stand the rubber keys! The original Spectrum + came to a nasty end when i decided to "fix" it, lets just say it didn't like it :-)

This was my first EVER computer and it is the one that started me off. My step dad gave me it as it used to be his and i started playing games on it. Suddenly i found that you could programme it and i was hooked. My first program was a poem that came up line by line in the middle of the screen, and i thought it was brilliant, i showed every one that came to our house, and i still have it some where...

I have now progressed to writing my own operating system for my Spectrum +3 (called Horizons after the introduction tape..) but i had to put my trusty 48k on my site as it is the heart of my collection :-)
