I suppose the equivalent this side of the pond back in the day would

Of course nowadays if going for an 80's 8-bitter I'd go for a Beeb too*.
Actually, I gave all my Sinclair stuff away last year (apart from one
48K machine) and I've never owned a C64 (just a C16 / Vic20 / plus 4 /
Amiga)...
* current count is about 40 different Acorn machines I think, six or so
of which are various flavours of beeb...

Wow, after watching the BBS Documentary and now this talk of flame wars,
hey lets get a good old fashion Atari 800 vs. C64 flame war going! ;-)
You can keep those darn bittyboxes, I'll stick to my Beeb with second
processor, thank you very much.
