Re: The Amstrad Times.
I used to work at a place in Rugby back in around 2003/2003 refurbishing a load of those e-mailer things! A lot of them had faulty backlight inverters, there was some rumours that they had a habit of burning the plastic case when they overheated!
My Dad used to have an Amstrad computer, was his first home PC, probably in the very early 90’s, I remember it needed 4 AA batteries in the top for something, not sure what! It ended up getting a virus of some sort, which the local computer shop couldn’t fix (or couldn’t be arsed to fix!) so my Dad got it replaced on the house insurance saying it got dropped down the stairs!! It was replaced with a custom built machine that ran Windows 3.1.
Oh, if anyone wants it, I have an Amstrad ‘Micro 1000’ stereo taking up space, and it still works!

Lloyd
