Damion Edwards (ID: 0000006b5768bf88) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/23/2016 Great for a bit of ZX Spectrum nostalgia but also has turned out to be quite useful for seeing if a page has completely loaded or not. I'm hoping the author will add loading sounds (to be off by default).

Cameron Bonde (ID: 00000009024a602f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/21/2016 It's ok. It's got options, so check them. Although it just scrolls the fixed zebra pattern (2 types), not the random line loading pattern of a real speccy.
