Yeah, I am feeling better day by day, but I feel better, try to do something, then feel a bit rubbish again, so back in bed resting.

Very happy on the Speccy front though.

Yes, pretty much the same here...though I'm going to attempt working from home for the full day tomorrow & then be in the office for the half-day Friday (morning). That gives me Saturday for more rest before the drive down to/from Cyber Legends 2.0 on Sunday...

I'm going to see if I can work tomorrow, I usually WFH 4 days a week, but if I feel like this I'll take off the rest of the week.

Hope you feel well enough for CL 2.0 on Sunday.

OK, so good news Spectrum wise.

My spare board that was missing a couple of RAM ICs and a ULA is now up to full function again :)

So thanks to Retroleum for the Nebula ULA replacement and the RAM ICs. I'll get a new case, keyboard (+Membrane) soon and then I can happily have 2 full Spectrum 48K rubber key machines.
