I never had Pong but we did have a ZX Spectrum that I used to code from a magazine we bought at the newsagent. Basic stuff but marvellous at the time. I read somewhere on Substack (maybe Digital Native) that Gen-Z are incredibly nostalgic for an analogue time they’ve never known, so it makes sense that vinyl is making a comeback and ‘real’ cars. Your son’s Volvo is indeed a thing of beauty. It gives me some degree of hope for humanity that we crave for the simple and beautiful still.

Loved this one, Arnie.
Thanks, Laura.
