As a child, I was lucky enough to get three computers for the price of one. Our Spectrum 16k broke after they’d stopped production, and so we got a machine three times more powerful – the almighty 48k as compensation. We couldn’t believe our luck when the tape player on that broke and got us a free upgrade to the almighty ZX Spectrum 128k.

We felt lucky to have this continual upgrading – but for many commentators, this good fortune is their demand from Critical Illness products. Read my thoughts here.
