Anyone here from France?  Do you know they have dedicated trains for special nuclear emergencies that had (not sure if they still have) Amstrad CPC 6128's onboard?  There was an episode of Beyond 2000 about this in the 80s/early 90s...

I'm almost certain it has been discussed(the repair shop cpc) in the retromaniax forum ages ago.
For sure I recall the photo.

this reminds me of an old story about a Polish mot centre
where they still use a commodore 64

what i like about these stories is
they remind me of what our
parents told us


if it isn't broken then why fix it ?


the cars have all had work done but the work-horse computers have kept on going
