It's great to see the Spectrum Next doing so well. A re-imagined 8-bit system that is 100% compatible with the ZX Spectrum from the 80's, but with enhanced speed and features.

Computers are so powerful these days but sometimes we seem to be battling the OS and dealing with so many API's. So coding wise you can't fall back on all that modern power (which stretches you as a coder I feel) and you have the freedom of doing things at a lower level.
