Hmm, yes, one could be happy if you would manage to store files on it.

25 Pounds, (that must be 38 Euros), hmm, that is cheap. If you think that the
PCW
contans that expensive Flash and the fast "Z80". May you can get one at ebay.uk
very
cheap. I got mine for 5,50 Pounds (with nearly 50 Pounds postage), but Amstrad
Z80
computer are my hobby, other hobbies are much more expensive *g*

Bye,
