Good luck to WNA indeed. Just start small and work your way up.
Actually, I blame Dixons and Comet.... they used to have rows of ZX Spectrums on display just waiting for some bright spark to type

Code:
10 print "GDW1975 is skill";
20 GOTO 10
Just where can kids today do that when they're being dragged around PC World?!?
