Slight nitpick: the Amiga was released in 1985, so the system dates at least from 1986. Other sources say 1987, which is not the "early 1980s" as the article says.

However, it's still cool that it's running. I love seeing old tech that's still just running. In the early 2000s, one of my clients was running a woodcutting system off a ZX Spectrum. They wanted to replace it, but the cost to rewrite their custom software would have been so much that they ended up buying a few used Spectrums as backup.

I wonder what became of that. Of course, fast forward to now and they could migrate to ZX Nexts. :-)

Yes, me too. I'm no longer in that geographic area (or area of the industry, for that matter), so I don't know.

However, I am anxiously awaiting my Spectrum Next...it seems to be inching towards a delivery date.

I liked my first Next so much I ordered in the second Kickstarter too, so now I'm waiting for my next Next.
