Hi Paul,

Where do you live in Germany?

I have been to Germany five times for work.

I work for a company called Wacker Chemical. Located in Munich and Burghausen (near Austria, in Bavaria).

Really like the Bavarian area.

Hi, And now as I read the "tape header" program my mind is completely blown to realize that a tape file exists in a "wav" format?! That is very wild to me. This must be why the manual talked so much about picking a tape player and using lower quality tapes, because the machine responded better to sp...

Hi guys, One question just brings up another it seems. When I'm using the "Eighty-One" emulator, I just usually load a tape image and work from that as if it were the real machine. So that is why the question came up. No tape counters in the emulator, so it got me thinking. Looks like I'd just bette...

Hi all,

I was wondering how to list the contents of a tape?

Thanks!

Hi all, From reading my trusty T/S 1000 User Manual last night I came across the sentence, "Sinclair BASIC lacks user-defined functions". This was a bit of a surprise to me. I was trying to decide how difficult that would make things. Not sure, but it could make things more challenging in some respe...

On one hand I love it and on the other I want to scream! Ha, ha! ;) Yes.. please do.. SCREAM! That keyboard is awful! :lol: (but we love it anyway). Btw welcome to this forum! :D Ha, ha! Thanks! I'm excited to continue my learning and see if I can learn to "press" this machine to or near its limits...

Your English is great, no wor...
