Welcome to the Maestro and Montego Owners Club. Why not post in the Welcome & Feedback forum and introduce yourself?
Why has everyones signature shrunk?
The sigs are now too small to read?

:S looks blank and remembers the U (ungraded) in my last exam..
He..He..
But I do have a 1985 IT qualification, regarding program writing in Beginners All purpose symbolic instruction code (Basic).
Cue BBC micro and ZX Spectrum.......
Which is about as much use as a 78RPM record now

I've still got a turntable that can play those...AND 16rpm records too...never seen a 16rpm record though!
I've never seen one either.........is your turntable a BSR multi-changer?
I've a couple of those, one is wrecked though from allowing heavy 78 records to fall from the spindle.

No it's a Goldring Lenco GL75 with fully variable speed-control from 10-80rpm but with adjustable click stops at 16, 33, 45 & 78. It's about 35 years old.
Computerwise up in the loft I have a Spectrum +3 and Amiga 1200. Funny how it took Windoze 98 to catch up with what Amiga Workbench was doing 13 years earlier. In some ways it's still not got there.

MG Maestro Turbos 396 and 502
MG ZT190+ (53 plate)
Got 2 BBC Bs, 2 VIC-20s, an Apple 2, a C64 and a couple of Amigas in the loft
That's quite a collection Maria, a friend of mine had a Vic 20, but I only had the 48k spectrum, which is still in the cupboard together with several games: Hungry Horace, Manic miner etc.
I'm intrigued by your fully variable speed record player G51NAV.
Is it a domestic machine, or designed that way for professional use?

oo0h Amigas!!!
although my first computer was the rubber key speccy 48k, and then speccy 48k+ with black plastic case, i soon moved to amigas way back in 1987..
I have the following Amiga's in my bedroom...
A600, A600HD, another A600HD, yet another A600HD
Amiga International A1200
CBM Amiga 1200
CBM Amiga 1200 (in a tower, with a 68030@50Mhz, FPU, 32MB FAST, 20GB Maxtor as DH0 DH1 DH2 DH3 DH4, CDRW, and kingston PCMCIA Ethernet, 14" Monitor, Scandoubler
Amiga 500 (512k FAST, 512K MASH)
Amiga 500+ (with 2mb CHIP)
another example of my obsessive nature i think..... wish i had as many maestro's though!
(and incidentally, if anyone fancies parting with an Amiga or two, just let me know, as i'm after the following Amigas:
CDTV
CD32 with FMV module (used to have one, but sadly lost it)
A1000
A1500
A2000
A2500T
A2500UX
A3000
A3000T
A4000/030
A4000/040
A4000T (the CBM one)
A4000T (the Amiga International one!)
obviously i'll have to stop spending money on cars first though

HOW TRUE! i still access the internet using my Amiga 1200 from time to time, but currently i'm watching this thing called AROS very closely...
I only had the 48k spectrum, which is still in the cupboard together with several games: Hungry Horace, Manic miner etc.
Oooh Manic Miner!
We've still got the old Spectrum upstairs somewhere, we used to load Manic Miner with a 'POKE' that someone gave us, giving 33 lives instead of 3! Made it much more fun. Does that sound like I know what I'm talking about? Cos if so, it lies!
Wonder if it still works? Might get it out and plug it in one day - tho I wonder if I can still remember how to cope with that awful keyboard, or rather, keypad! I bought the Spectrum at the time cos I thought my kids should have access to a home computer and it must have been a good idea cos one of them is a programmer now!
but I only had the 48k spectrum, which is still in the cupboard together with several games: Hungry Horace, Manic miner etc.
If it's a rubber key Speccy, it's worth a bit of money! I've seen empty boxes on fleabay go for silly money!!! So if it's boxed as well
Just out of interest there were at least 36,070 games released for the Speccy and roughly 15,000 for the C64. Just shows how popular the Speecy was, even though the C64, in my opinion, was far superior.
