Array ( [sid] => 119678 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => An Ode to my Amstrad [time] => 2006-05-08 10:05:18 [hometext] => I wrote this when I missed my Poor little 8 bit Amstrad CPC464 Retro computer with built in Tape LOL [bodytext] => Your Keyboard was big, the keys colorful and bold,
And as for your monitor.....it was Bulky and old.

The 16 colors you gave were ample enough,
And I didn't mind that the graphics were rough,

The 64k of Ram to hold all the data,
Is the equivalent now of some cheap calculator.

Did I mention the mouse? It didn't exist,
I think Amstrad missed that part on the list.

And as for the games, well what can I say.
The loading of these tapes only took a day.

And you try to play them, just wait and see,
They'd either crash halfway through, or say Read Error B

So why did I love you, what did I adore,
It's simple. you were my Amstrad CPC464

I just read one of your poems that was not so cute.

I work on computers for a living, security is a big deal, among other things like this whole poem, I get it. CUTE!
