    I wish I hadn't plugged that BBC B+128 computer in.

    Coz those capacitors in the power supply don't half make a pong when they let the magic smoke out.

    <phew>

    Fixable though I hope.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      128? doesn't that make it a Master?
      Sold my BBC B on ebay for 99p.......thought I'd get a tad more
      Anyone want to buy 150 tap games in original boxes?
      Got some A310 games too.

        I think I gave my BBC B to my brother in law for nothing about 20 years ago. I might raise an invoice.

          My Model B is sitting in a heap of things behind my armchair.

          I reckon there's a good chance it'd still work if I plugged it in. If I do plug it in, and strange smells exude from it absent of the "beeeep-BEEP!" that indicates a successful boot, I'll go and hang around the entrance to Zeity's place of work until I can persuade him to fix it
