ZX Spectrum Next Issue 2 ships out, and El Reg talks to the project founder

I had a Spectrum +3. I can still recall vividly the smell of the unboxing on Christmas morning. Actually I had slid the box out of the wrapping paper a few weeks prior when my parents were out. Just to look at it :)

I started out my computing journey on the ZX81 learning little BASIC programs. I graduated to a full color MSX Spectravideo [1] afterwards. I loved making little graphics programs and playing with the sound chip.

I wish I had seen the original articles in time to order one from the first batch. I am eager to order one when they decide to make another batch.

Anyone have one? I just finished the spectrum book from bitmap books, having missed out on it when I was a kid, and it seems a really interesting platform.
