Hi, Chris.

I think you had more luck making Sinclair type-ins work on DOS than I ever did on my aunt's Sinclair. That awful BASIC where you had to have the cursor in keyword mode and press "P" for "PRINT" - don't *type* "PRINT", that won't work. Oh, you did it again. Oh and now the whole line is muffed and actually now that I look, so is that one 3 lines ago.

35 years on and I'm still extraordinarily furious just thinking back to that. And to think, people loved those things. What's wrong with people?

Eughhhh!
