will get a PC in the future and doesn’t know if he will
Is he interested in the Spectrum after this?
I decided to make my answer broad
circle of readers, because I hope this is
children are interested in reading the owners of others
platforms, wondering what has happened so far
has been keeping people on the Spectrum for a while now. And yes-
same as those who have it on their desktop next to
The Spectrum is also a “sophisticated” PC.    
                                         
   As for "Intel is mowing down our rya-

some PCs cannot pose a threat.
Only those for whom the Spectrum computer is in
in the truest sense of the word, without hesitation

Remember those times when everything was just
