Same here. Trying to type anything on that thing (especially copying the code out of magazines) was just horrible.

Edit: just remembered something that made it even worse than just the awful keys - all reserved words for BASIC were tokenized in some way where you had to use a control-key sequence to tell it PRINT, for instance, instead of being able to type P,R,I,N,T <enter>.

Me too. But I think it led to more learning and less gaming! I did finally get a Speccy... recently!
