After a week, we're ready to go,
By popular demand - the DIY ZERO,
Remember it comes with a Compute Module 4,
The most expensive of the components by far,
If you have one already so want it without,
We'll do what we can, just give us a shout!
(I'm a poet but didn't know I was)

I've actually been thinking a lot about this recently. I do think a backlash will kick in, and "Free from AI" will be a tagline that some people seek out, whether it's OSes or hardware or anything else.

A mockup of what the BBC Micro game 'Castle Quest' would have looked like on the ZX Spectrum.
It's a mockup I drew of what it would have looked like, if it existed! I also did a mock of 'Castle Quest' too.
(I created these for the 'Acorn Retro' column in Archive Magazine @archiveriscos.bsky.social - Volume 25, No. 3)
