The New Sinclair C5....

[Smokin Joe]

is putting a plastic lid on something that already exists classed as inventing something?

In that case, i think i've just invented margarine.... but I'll call it the MV-X

It is not an invention, it's a development. Like 99.999999999% of all new products.

I though that was a musical reference !

Anyone else old enough to remember these:

The ZX81was well ahead of it's time, it was even used as the console for a time travelling machine in the SF drama "Flipside of Dominic Hyde".
Anybody old enough to remember?

The Flipside of Dominick Hide intrigued me so i found it and watched it last night... excellent stuff. I did notice the console but i don't think it was a ZX81. There's a follow-up called Another Flip for Dominick, which i might have to watch very soon... along with all the other Play For Today's i can get my hands on.

They are both good plays. Have the two on a vhs box set somewhere and have watched them several times. I'll have to find my old vhs m/c and watch them again.

Got round to watching the "The Flipside of Dominic Hide" again last night on U-Tube. Still enjoyed it and reminded me of when you could get a pint for 25p.

It is a cracker. It might look a bit dated these days but the writing is solid.
Just noticed The Stone Tape is on Youtube too... that's one to rewatch.
