Wired, as well, so that's a PS/2 and RJ-11 lead to tangle up while you're trying to negotiate t'internet.

Another piece of useless tat IMHO

I still have a thermal printer for my ZX81 - I always found it quite usefull! You can print out the code, so when the tape dies (which is inevitable) you can a copy!

Not as crazy, as it first appears as you can now get adapters to network you P.C.'s at home,via a Rg45 cable/ adapter by plugging them into the mains

Yes, this is known as an "etherkiller". Look that one up if you dare.

Meanwhile I have a homeplug network at home between upstairs/downstairs and it's not bad.
