I also saw an article in my Daily Mail this morning http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1374554/Return-Commodore-64-Classic-80s-home-given-new-lease-life-Windows-PC.html?ITO=1490 I was so seized with jealousy that I accidentally crumpled the paper and my butler had to iron it again. 1 terabyte hard drive, 4GB of RAM. Why has nobody thought of expanding the Spectrum in this way? -- G.

If by "expanding" you mean tearing out the guts, cutting extra holes in the case, and cramming a new motherboard inside... tada! http://technabob.com/blog/2009/04/12/sinclair-zx-spectrum-linux-pc-casemod/ :)

Why has nobody thought of expanding > the Spectrum in this way? It's not a commode, it's just an emulator sitting in a commode case isn't it? A normal PC? Or is the thing just a beige box with a commodore logo on it? I've not been interested enough to actually look -- | spike1@freenet.co.uk | "I'm alive!!! I can touch!

IIRC it ships with a software C64 emulator as an application (presumably one can easily get hold of such things anyway though). -- http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/
