You Lucky ducker
Martin
Martin!
MARTIN!
Can I have a go on that Martin, pleeeeese?
The lucky winner of the unique portable Spectrum is Martin Ryan. He gets the device built by elite hardware hacker Ben Heck, a Sinclair ZX Spectrum that has been taken apart, modified and put back together again in a way that none of the original designers could have prophesied*. This means Martin will be able to play Manic …
It's not a problem. They're journalists. So they're too lazy and/or drunk to get up to anything sinister.
The only one who seems capable of plotting an evil scheme has just booked himself onto a flight to the US with a large explosive device that's also a remotely operated drone. By the time Lester gets halfway through his explanation to the TSA of what's in his luggage, he'll be off to Gitmo so fast his feet'll smoke. I shouldn't imagine he'll be out before all that data is worthless anyway...
I don't think the questions were worthy of a real Sinclair-Head (I could verify my suspisicions on the 'net), and in fact, my memory is so bad I can't even remember if I entered the comp.
I do however working intimately with the Sinclair QL early in my career. Spare parts were a bastard to come across (especially drives), but fortunately (for me) I could make enough good good ones out of lots of bad ones.
I did get to play with them before sending them out, great fun!
