So there was some friendly banter about Q68 beating SpeccyNext to your doorstep, well SpeccyNext was only a 170K$ project.
This 500K GBP project is now years late and is likely to never deliver.

So congrats to Peter and Derek for getting it right!

That's the zx vega. Altogether different project.
The Next seems on course to deliver, if what I hear is true.

Unless by"this" you actually meant the Vega. If so apologies

Yes "this" is the Vega+ which seems to be a disaster zone!

I actually did not back the Next as I feared it would be another Vega debacle. Kind of regret it now, but the Q68 will more than make up for it!

Same for me.
And programming Z80 ... well, for me, it is simply 'no'.

Hey, I said 'for me'. It would be too difficult for me, that's all. I am no genius.
If I chose the machine you know as my predilection machine, there is a very good reason : excellent for my laziness.
