| Message | hello Mario! I've just discovered your site; it's fantastic! Thank you for a great work and for a lot of information and documentations that you have organized and that you are sharing with the rest of us. I've recently got an Einstein Computer from garbage but it's work fine (i think) and I'm looking for 3 inch floppies to complete testing hardware. see you soon, Salvatore |

| Message | Just a message for Tony Brewer, Hi Tony, it's been a long time, Graham Bettany and I met you a few times and talked about your brilliant Speculator for the Einstein. The Speculator book I wrote was a very basic introduction to using the thing but I enjoyed working with it immensely. I owe you one great apology for not including in the book your name as the creator of the Speculator. Hope you are well. All the very best Mike |

| Message | Hi Mario! Just popped by for old times' sake! Great to see the site (and the Einey!) still thriving. Interest in the dear old machine seems to be stronger than ever! Can't believe it is nearly 5 years since I bundled all my bits and pieces into a cardboard box for the last time and waved them goodbye for ever, but wow! - looking at this now, and what you've done with those goodies since, it's the best thing I ever did!! Great thank you put on here for me too! I feel honoured to have played a small part in what you have achieved here, even if all I actually did in reality was to chuck out my old stuff!! Long may you continue to maintain this wonderful shrine to the most underrated computer ever built. Fond memories indeed!! Regards and very best wishes, David. |

| Message | Wow! Just tonight my boyf was looking for retro spectrum games for his new ipad and came across chuckie egg. That then brought plenty of memories flooding back to me about my very first computer - a tatung Einstein! My dad brought it home (he's still friends with john's son and works with him as an electrician these days). Kings valley, gloop, maxima, qogo 2, gronks.....those were the days. Looking down your extensive list of software made me smile. Brilliant memories of staying up late on a school night playing all the above and more - avoiding the homework as much as was possible! I'm 29 now!! Am also certain my 'p' button broke due to excessive right turns! Haha Happy days, Lucy |

| Message | Paul Howell ,now theres a name from the past. David had a lot to answer for. I was knicknamed the tame boffin because I was able to provide cheat mods for most games, my most famous was getting into Konami ,especially Kings Valley. The other which was scrawled on the kitchen wall at David Howells was for TimeTrap ,you couldn't die but this led to getting trapped in places you weren't meant to get to so I added a safe way back using the escape key. The kitchen wall read FE IB C0 (return if the escape key was pressed) Everyone came to call this feeb coo Happy days. |

| Message | My wife just youtubed 'Lazy Jones' which made me laugh as memories of gronks, crystal caves (i think - correct me if thats wrong)chucky egg, kings valley, learning to program in Xtal Basic, TASWORD (kill me now), etc came trudging back. I bought mine in about 1983/4 for about £500 from Dixons in Durham (a fortune!) - my late brother convinced me to get one like his, citing its superior power over its rivals.... It overheated easily, and had to be exchanged, but it ended up having dual drives, and an 80 column card (so i could use wdpro, I think, and stop fidgeting about with tasword's formatting) - oh and of course I gave it the drilled-case mode switch mod. Happy days  |

| Message | Hi all. First of all, I never owned a Tatung Einstein as a kid since I am from Spain and I don't think it was ever available there. Instead, our parents bought us the 48k Spectrum, which I believe we still have somewhere in the house. It was only last month after reading a two page article on the Einstein in last month's Retro Gamer magazine when I instantly felt in love with the machine. It was so beautiful to look at! I thought the retro look design was so cool that I started searching for one on eBay. And last Saturday I managed to pull one in excellent condition with a box of software and manuals. I can't wait to receive it and learn how to operate it. Unfortunately, monitors don't show up and are hard to find. I wonder if it can be connected to a modern computer monitor. That'd be great. Mario, if you are reading this just to let you know I live in Edinburgh. If I have anything you are after I'll let you know. Regards Antonio |
