Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 / Z88 Forums

I been recently moving my old .mac web site over to a new server and hosting service (not finished yet as there are lots of broken links and the FTP isn't up and running yet) For those of you who remember a few years back I wrote a program called Chopperdrop 3000. http://www.neoncluster.com/sinclair...
