Also it so pisses me off to a level I can't even express without howling like a wild beast, that fucking Intel & MS won, snuffed out all of the competing home computers*.
INTEL SUCKS SO MUCH SHIT IT MAKES SEWAGE PLANTS THROW UP IN DISGUST.
Microsoft is like if Hitler made an OS.
* (except Mac, which was objectively the least interesting of the non-PC home computers. But they made more money, and got a $150M lawsuit payout from MS, so barely escaped bankruptcy.)

When you're leeching an entire series of a magazine, it quickly becomes obvious what the lifecycle was. Rainbow starts as this ratty little mimeograph with some issues on color cardstock, then a gigantic-ass 300+ page monthly tome, then shrinks again to 64, then 16 pages.
I'm a little shocked they got to have a final issue, most just ceased, maybe you got a postcard saying "your $X subscription is now ended".

yes, yes, you don't actually stand at a standing desk as much as you think you will when you decide to get one. everybody knows this.
BUT
the real benefit of having one is being able to dial in the height of the desk when you're sitting to EXACTLY where you want it. just being able to do that has significantly reduced my mid-30's desk job back problems.
seen this in glasgow on maryhill road the other day, a #sinclair C5 chassis being used as the sign for a bicycle shop. #retro #zxspectrum
You, people, are great.
