Forget Khan and Klingons, Star Trek's greatest trick was simply surviving

Re: Huh?

To paraphrase the Pub Landlord I'm of the opinion that:

Set - Science Fiction. Subset - Space Opera. Do you want me to draw you a...Venn diagram? :)

And, are you aware that Larry Niven wrote an episode of the Star Trek animated series?

Exactly. The importance of price is something that's often overlooked by retro computing articles. Back then a difference of one or two hundred pounds could represent a year of saving.

While the BBC B was much more capable (and reliable) than the ZX Spectrum, the ingenuity that Sinclair put into keeping the price as low as possible was very impressive. The Spectrum was the peoples' computer, the Beeb was a Jaguar in comparison.
