Syntax Era
Unfortunately I was 6 by the end of the 80's, but this programme is going to dramatize the battle between the spectrum and BBC micro which some of you guys out there might remember. Not that you're old or anything
Martin Freeman from The Office and Alexander Armstrong of Armstrong & Miller fame are enough to get me at least interested in giving it a watch. How about yourselves?

With a couple of colleagues even got it to support a HUGE 10Mbyte Hard Drive via a Home Brew interface on the TUBE and a much bastardised CPM Disk Driver software in Sideways ROM / RAM.
Ain't life easy with PC's these days.
I guess that with the perceived Technical skills of the presenters, I'll give the prog. a miss.

Then first PC was the Amstrad 6128
