My little brother has descended into early-onset dementia (common in those with Down's). The deterioration has been rapid, especially since the death of our father. Horrible to see a family member 10 years younger than I barely recognising us already. I fully understand what anyone with this cruel illness in their family goes through.

Morning Dilwyn.

I know exactly the horror of that. My nephew is 35 and is already "gone" with early onset dementia. It is a horrific thing to witness.

Cheers,
Norm.

I've received this in dribs & drabs over the past few weeks

Not a machine I had BITD, but one that always intrigued me

I'm supposed to be packing things away for storage, but it's not going too well...

Enjoy! Used to have one of those many moons ago, I wrote quite a few long since vanished programs for my employer at the time, who used them in offices and studios.

Just make sure the capacitors in the power supply have been changed.

As they will fail with a loud pop and produce black smoke.

Thanks Derek. I was worried about that so have already fitted a modern 65w supply
