I know someone who takes all lesson to type a sentence because they never used a computer until two years ago! NOW THAT IS SHOCKING.

OMG how can people live without computers? I had a DOS one first when I was about six!

My dad's even quicker than that!

I can't remember, but my mum told me that I used a computer for the first time when I was three. Apparently, my dad taught me how to type.

The wonders of the computing age! No one could survive without computers.

[Chris Perkins 228]

As you know, I'm 25 now and even though there were computers around in the 80's they were few and far between.

My first 'PC' was a Sinclair ZX81 which I spent time programming in BASIC everytime I turned it on (I didn't have a cassette recorder to save anything on!). It was a hand me down from my uncle. (The same unlce that started me coin collecting)

I then progressed through Spectrums, right up to the 128k +3 which had a disk drive!

Then an Atari ST, then a 286....386's, 486, Pentium 1, 2, and now I'm on an AMD1300.

I'll confess i'm a one finger typist.

And i remember when i went to junior school they only had about 3 computers in the school, all had those great big foppy 5" disks!!!

Ah the memories, also no internet, and in Y6 only one person in our year had a CD-Rom computer.

That's ten years ago now, and ten years on most people (myself included), would be lost without one.

[Half Penny Jon 0]

I wonder what sort of computers we will have in the future.

[Half Penny Jon 0]

Well we cannot call them liars

Agreed, but they do sell rubbish

That is totally pointless, why would anyone want to buy that and at that price!? I am ashamed at some of the stuff that is being offered to collectors these days.

[Chris Perkins 228]

No serious collectors would buy that, they are basically just for tourists or for people to buy as gifts for collectors. If you got those as a gift, what could you say...'Sorry Nan, they're complete poo, can you take them back?'

I don't think even your Nan would buy something that bad.

No, one must humour the elderley. Something more subtle like "I'm scared of Pirates" may do the trick!

How about this... "I watched the film but I didn't like it"

[Emperor Oli 0]

"My yacht was boarded by marauding Pirates and I've been traumatised ever since"?

[Geoff T 3]

It must of made at least over £100,000 in my opinion.

There was some bumph from Coincraft in the post when I got back from a week away this evening, and that claimed that the sovereign alone from the Edward VIII proof set recently went for £100,000.

[Half Penny Jon 0]

I know that a proof two pounds was sold in 2002 for £66,700.

That much?!

[Half Penny Jon 0]

They are in high demand you know!

[Half Penny Jon 0]

If it came up for sale today, it would make much more than that.

[Sylvester 15]

if all else fails you'll just have to settle for one of these...
