    So, I've been playing around with the old Amstrad CPC's lately. I've
    been a little concerned about the age of some of them and of the
    monitors I have. One of them had to be fixed a few years ago when one of
    the transformers died. Having been off to the local electronics shops
    and buying a couple of VGA adaptors off ebay, I've been having lots of
    fun playing some of the old games and going through the programs I wrote
    all those years ago.

    Mostly, out of nostalgia, I'm still collecting bits and pieces. Still
    have lots of Amstrad peripherals etc that I don't yet have. Are there
    any places left other than eBay that are useful for finding stuff?

    Hey Danny!

    What precious moments when one starts playing again with their old love :)

    Not to toot my own horn, but maybe you can find some stuff on the cpcwiki.eu forum, and of course the other fora out there (especially if you speak French or Spanish)!
