I wish that they would get my hopelessly optimistic 10 meg up to speed, if i could reliably get more that 1.5 i would be happy. Bet this will end up as another " upto " sham.

How good is that, 200meg data streaming, I remember selling the first Amstrad 1520 / 1640 model PC's with 5 1/4 floppy disc drives and if you went for the top model you would have a VGA screen as well - wow!

I had an Oric and spectrum, had to get a spectrum cos there was only one game for the Oric - Zorgon's Revenge! Oh the hours of fun listening to the screaming of the tape recorder right up until the last bit when it would crash. I was always envious of my freind having an Amstrad CPC464 with the built in tape deck which he would just load up and away to go!

Sorry to move away from origional post re: 200meg BB - just got carried away!
