Complete with working keyboard and CUB monitor!

This is pretty special to be fair.

It's very cool IMHO.

yes, we had a BBC B with the speech synthesis kit installed, we played a lot of Elite and I liked a game called Sentinel.

We had a floppy drive and did a lot of programming of the micro.

I loved the literacy show that accompanied the BBC and still enjoy watching some of those older shows with Ian 'Mac' McNaught Davis :) I really admired his ability to tel folks in plain terms what was going on with this new thing called a 'home computer'

Brought back so many memories; I even used to tilt the monitor up onto the
back of the beeb as portrayed here.

Elite and I liked a game called Sentinel.

These were both fantastic performance squeezes on the been; I believe Elite
had several multiplication routines that were optimised for different scenarios. Clever programming at its best.

Yeah, Mac absolutely loved the beeb - everything else was a toy as far as
he was concerned. Fred Harris was a familiar face back in the early 80s,
so I guess he was always my favourite.
