just a note,

i`ve just discovered this newsgroup, having done a search for a better
speccy emulator for my pc...do any old speccy personalities check in here
from time to time, from YS etc? can`t think of a mag since (apart from
maybe, Super Play for the SNES, that was so altogether complete and
funny)...PC mags are so cut n dried =)

Jeff Braine's around here somewhere, and Nat Pryce has been known to lurk in
this newsgroup. Simon Cooke's buggered off to a Java newsgroup, and Stuart
Campbell pops in from time to time. Can't think of any "old-school" YS writers
posting here regularly (Phil South posted once or twice a while back), but I
think that's probably it on the YS side of things.

BTW, you might like my website :)

Aha! A newbie! You know what this means, don't you?

If you liked Your Sinclair, you'll love YS3. Just celebrating its first
birthday, YS3 is a monthly* webzine dedicated to all things Sinclair
(and quite a few things not). Highly recommended by almost everyone in
comp.sys.sinclair, and recently upgraded in the css FAQ
(http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~pak/cssfaq/index.html) from 'only one issue
produced so far, which didn't have too much outstanding in it', YS3 is
the essential read for the discerning Spec-chum. Available now, you can
either browse online, or download a copy to read at your leisure.

It's what the internet was made for!

Cheers,
Nathan

thanks guys.....Nick, i`d already checked out your website, it really is
excellent =) i had about 20 Your Spectrums up in the loft, along with
1988-92 YS`s, and stupidly chucked the lot out about 5 years ago =((

...so it`s good to be able to see them again!

Nathan, i`m just going to check out YS3 now!

Cheers
