Would have to install Mint 10 for me lol

The Beeb was ahead of it's time, Clive, think what it would be like with a modern processor, graphics card and plenty of RAM. :)

Don't misunderstand me, I truly loved my Beeb with all my heart but I don't think the Teletext adaptor could compete with the Internet.   :D
