lol, same here. We had PET 4000's and only one tape drive, so half the lesson was wasted while everyone had to wait in turn to load thier project, then, about 10 minutes after you managed to load it, it was time to start saving it again.

We also had a BBC Model B, but that was for teachers and "gifted" students only (which, basically meant the son of the IT teacher). Also I remember someone bringing in their brand new ZX-81, complete with RAM pack connected via the impressive HIPWV interface (Held In Place With Velcro).... woah... I mean seriously cutting edge!
