Beautiful sad story. It brings tears to my eyes. I recall the many
wonderful programs hidden in the swirly grey lines of the load function
of my Sinclair ZX-81 as I tried to recall them again from the messy
tapes - lost forever due to accidental overwrites, bad encoding or the
recorder stuttering. I hope there is a heaven for loved software.
Now *that* is a good idea for starting an Omega Point! :-)
