And also spotted some Amstrad 464s.....which didn't turn up I believe  
until the 1984-5 timeframe.

The other thing I spoted was that the spectrum shown when it launched  
was at least an issue 2 as it had the darker rubber in the keyboard.  
The issue 1 had a much lighter coloured rubber keys, that where  
changed from the issue 2 as they where hard to read.

Yeah I spotted that too :) but it is kinda hard to 'act' working like  
that unless you actually know what you are doing.

Indeed, sitting on my PVR hard disk, waiting to be dropped down to DVD.

Cheers.
