Rob Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 I'm 10 this year in December and I don't think Rob is far off. I'm 9 in May, though I did post as a guest prior to that in the good old days when guests could do so without registering and spammers were non-existent. Quote

Chris Perkins Posted July 28, 2014 Author Posted July 28, 2014 I think Halfpenny Jon and William kind of grew out of coins a bit I think, i.e. got on with learning whatever they were learning - no doubt boozing and babes and babies may have got in the way for some of the early members. I bought some coins off both Jon and William many years ago. And for young people now there is social networking. Forum? What's a forum, we may as well all be using ZX81's, we're so old. Quote

Sylvester Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I don't think it's quite 11 years yet, but it can't be that far off, November I think.Also Jon and William iirc.I often wonder what happened to all those youngsters, they were aged in the 10-15 age range back then, they'll all be in their early to mid-20s now! Probably at uni or got families now, my how the time has flown by. Scary thought!I'm glad to be back, it's been a while. Chris' got me working on a little project, so hopefully I'll be nipping in and out of the forum for a while.How are you getting on anyway? Quote

davidrj Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Dunno about quills, but my early school memories are of scratchy pens and inkwells set into the desks. When were biros invented and when did they become cheap enough for common usage? I know they were banned for all my schooling Quote

When were biros invented and when did they become cheap enough for common usage? I know they were banned for all my schoolingI think the changeover period was my own schooldays (the 60s) - I remember we had to have fountain pens exclusively, but biros were accepted later, e.g. for homework among other things. Having said that, I think we had to have fountain pens for O- and A-Level papers. Quote
