"MUCH MUCH better SPECTRUM"? The same Spectrum which had 8-colour
graphics at 240*120 or something instead of 16-colour graphics at
320*200? The same Spectrum which had "beep, beep" sounds instead of
3-channel 4-waveform sound? The same Spectrum which had usually 16k
memory (48k if you were really lucky) instead of 64k as standard?
What is so "MUCH MUCH better" about it? For some reason, the British
are wacko over their Spectrums. I always thought there was
something odd about the British.
