Just random whinging, but I remember getting my A310 and thinking how
cool the sound would be. I used to type sheet music into the BBC B using
SOUND &203 and all that kind of stuff, but I gave up on the Archimedes
native sound almost immediately, it just completely defeated me.
An example of how 8-bit is better. :-)
