Take a look at NTLite, it's a utility to get rid of a lot of cruft in the Windows 10 ISO:

Re: ZX Spectrum, cartridge port?

Although most ram expansions for the 16k Speccy were internal, there were a number of external 3rd party 32k rampack, I still have one with a 16k Speccy that was given to me a few years ago made by Cheetah, and it still works!

Do you really want tech companies to pay more tax?

Re: "How ready are you to give up cheap books and cloud"

Trevor, I'm a boomer, I've paid taxes all my life to support your generation and paid very high taxes for previous generations and the ones after me. I've worked hard and suffered during my working life and don't have al lot to show for it. Unlike you lot as a child my parents couldn't afford lots of pressies and crap for me and unlike most of you lot I studied part time for my education instead of having a gap year and going to Uni. I have paid throughout my life for the future pension you want to steal off me, I have never "wanted-it-all" nor actually "had-it-all" although your generation seem to.

I have detested the obnoxious greed that took off with a vengeance in the 1980's just in time to benefit the younger generations. I have been unable to move house as I could not afford to as house prices rocketed due to that same greed, despite it being to small for the two children we had.

In short Trevor, most of your selfish generation would not have put up with my life and just as things are starting to improve for me you want to take it off me.

Incidentally, the hippies of my generation (many of who became the captains of industry who really created this mess) also thought they could do better than their predecessors, and they looked really practical geniuses compared to Gen X, so I don't hold out much hope for you.

Finally, when this miserable system does collapse you won't just be able to throw things away when they get old, tatty and break down, they will have to be repaired as things did when we were young, (and I still do) and you will need us to show you how to fix them, so don't dump us just yet.
