i do have some fond memories of the bbc micro - in the 80s i wrote an implementation of the kermit file transfer protocol for it in basic, but it was glacially slow. a bit later i rewrote it in 6502 assembler, and incorporated a vt100 terminal emulator. everything was much faster - the 6502 could be pretty quick once you understood its addressing modes, which were peculiar. i was always crap at elite though.
