Program the computer so that it plays not only the funeral march, but also the rest of Mahler's first symphony.

:-)

Hello folks. Who's up for a meetup in Oxford on Saturday 6th December, with a bit of a twist?I've been in discussions with the Museum of the History of Science , who have been running an exhibition namedcovering geekish activity through the ages with a particular focus on 1980s home computing. To mark the end of the exhibition, they'll be throwing the museum doors open for "" - a day of retro-gaming, with a room full of Spectrums to play on [size=-2]and a few BBC micros upstairs, but absolutely no C64s, I promise[/size].Then, in the afternoon, we're going to try out an idea that Winston and I have been brewing at previous meetups, and hopefully make a bit of Speccy history along the way. We'll be linking up the assembled Spectrums, and through the magic of synchronised BEEPs, form. Seasoned Speccy fans will of course be aware of chapter 19 of the Speccy manual , which illustrates the BEEP command with a few bars from Mahler's first symphony, and ends with the exercise:CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.So. The snag is, I need your help to gather together A Sufficiently Large Quantity Of Spectrums. With that in mind:The timetable will be something like this (you don't have to be around for the whole day, although that would be supremely awesome):9:00 Setup10:00 Doors open to the public. Speccy-gaming-a-go-go.14:30ish Set up the orchestra16:00 Possibly more gaming17:00-late: Pub. Curry. Etc.If you can help out, please drop me a message on this thread, or by email to matt (at) west.co.tt, mentioning how many Spectrums you can bring (and what kind they are), roughly what time you expect to arrive, and for bonus points, whether you're able to provide any TVs/monitors or Spectranet/DivIDE/DivMMC-ish fast-loading devices. (They may or may not be needed - still figuring out the logistics.) Bear in mind that you shouldn't rely on there being parking nearby...People without Spectrums in tow are welcome too, of course. I suppose.Cheers!
