I'm fairly new to this forum so even though I feel like I "know" some of you in some small, online way, I can't actually put a name to any of the faces in these pictures

Enjoy your last day over there!

Good luck! Will be following your progress with interest.

Don't worry, I will never abandon the humble and underestimated Electron!

A warm welcome to you Ritchie and thank you for saving two Acorn Electrons!

Ooooh, that was good. When do we get the tech details?

Give us a few days to catch up on sleep and we'll get on it.

Who needs sleep anyway!

Excellent work!

That's a great start, welcome!

Hi, welcome!

Welcome!

Thank you Mr B! Let's see. 20 years ago I had already moved on to PCs and my Electron was safely stored away in the loft :D However, 35(!) years ago I played many games on the Electron, tried writing my own games in BASIC and dabbled unsuccessfully in 6502 machine code. Dreaming about creating the t...

Looking good so far. Going to get a better look at it in the weekend. I'm particularly interested in the usb stick.

What a great job, looking forward to the updated site!

You have come to the right place. Welcome!

Welcome!

Amazing, as usual!

WORK IN PROGRESS. Constructive feedback and ideas are most welcome. No idea in which direction I'm taking this yet. As long as I'm having fun coding it :D Three design goals: 1. It has to work equally well on BBC and Electron 2. It has to be fun 3. And it has to be challenging Oh yeah, I'm calling i...

Oh my. Well I drove for an hour to pick up a CRT only to find that there was no remote so there was no way to set it to scart, then I sourced a monitor off my dad, and bought a scart to hdmi upscaler, but now i've set it up I've gone through all the settings and there is no way to adjust the screen...

Excellent, thank you!

Welcome and enjoy!

Welcome back!

Thanks for the heads up and glad that 8bs.com will remain.

Fantastic, thank you so much!

Those are logical coordinates which get mapped to physical coordinates depending on the screen mode. This way your coordinate system, used by MOVE and PLOT for instance, is independent from the actual screen mode.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it!
