ZX Spectrum Mug and Bag.

My name is Samuel Doye. I was lucky enough to win a ZX Spectrum 48k Mug and bag as part of Bens recent Spectrum portable build. Both the bag and mug are incredible. I have decided to use the bag as the new home for my Z88, a computer made by Sir Clive after he sold the spectrum name to amstrad. I you are interested, here is a link to the wikipedia article.Cambridge Z88 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. I am finally able to take it with me wherever I go, and both my BASIC skills and my style has improved as a result. It also makes a convenient carry case for my 128k spectrum, massive heatsink and all. If you have a little less imagination it seems to be the right size for a laptop and a few peripherals.

As for the mug it is now my goto for whenever I need a nice hot cup of tea. (Pun not intended) It holds a good amount of tea and makes untangling someone elses mess of code with no comments a little less painful.

The good folks at Element 14 were even king enough to throw in an amazing Ben heck show sticker. The difficulty is finding a worthy place to stick something so epic.

Thank you Element 14 for giving me all this amazing stuff. And Ben, keep up the good work, the portable spectrum was amazing!

    Now, here in Santiago of Chile, I'm following Ben Heck's videos, week after week, to entertain myself and to learn new things too. Thanks Element 14 for all these contents on your website!

    Yes! The portable ZX Spectrum was amazing! We need to create new 8 and 16-bits portable computers for using them today. Many people argue that smartphones, PC's and microcontrollers could replace 8-bit old computers, but the feel it's not the same. Applications today are heavy and complicated to run and use too. Long life to ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, Atari, Dragon, Newbrain, Commodore, MSX and all of those machines that created a revolution in old days.
