- 02:59pm: 'Grumpy Gumphrey Supersleuth' and 'Sweevo's World'. I don't remember playing these, never mind spending good pocketmoney on them.
- 03:05pm: Two ZX81s, two Spectrum 48Ks, a Spectrum+, and a Spectrum 128. It's possible I won't need *all* of these again.
- 04:05pm: @FinalBullet No binning, but probably mostly eBay. Unless you want any? I also have a pile of Spectrum cassettes.
- 05:21pm: @DeanVipond It's taken me an hour to make *one* of them work with a modern TV and start loading a game!
- 08:40pm: "I always wanted to pretend to be an architect." #georgecostanza
