    sorry for creating a new thread for this, but i remembered how much fun it was (20+years ago) waiting 10-15mins for crappy games to load, and listening to these awful sounds...
    so i made a spectrum maemo5 boot video for all the oldies to reminisce over, and figured a new thread would get everyones attention....

    (download and apply it with boot screen manager)

    (hopefully putting it in off topic will let me get away with posting this crap! but at least its not another pr1.2 thread, so dont hate me!)

    I used to type in all that code from magazines and save it to my tape recorder. I swear most that those games ever did was to allow me to move a block around the screen avoiding other blocks. But man...it was fun.

    16K FTW

    funny thing is ive made boot videos for hundreds of lost souls in this thread:
    http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=46357&page=10
    and i put a link to this vid in there

    and 90% of people dont thank me anyway!
    but i dont mind
    most are new users that dont know about the thanks button, and some dont use english as their 1st language,
    they say things like 'make me this video' at first i thought it was a little rude, but its just the language barrier, i hope!

    Can you imagine explaining a boot video for your mobile phone to someone from 27 years ago? Can you imagine telling them that the size of the video was 6900KB and that the phone had over 32 GB storage?
