MINULÝ ČAS PROSTÝ - DOPLŇOVAČKY
The day .......... terribly. My alarm .......... and I .......... the house with only 1 hour to spare before the plane .......... due to take off. Luckily there .......... very little traffic and I .......... at the airport with 30 minutes to spare. I .......... in at the gate and .......... for a coffee. Just as I .......... down , the announcer .......... my flight. I .......... my coffee quickly, too quickly in fact as I .......... some on my shirt. I .......... the sign to the departure gate and .......... through passport control. I .......... down in the departure lounge. It .......... full of teenagers, obviously a school trip. They .......... a terrible noise. And then I .......... that terrible announcement, the one you don't want to hear. There .......... a problem with the engine. I .......... around for a place to get another coffee. I .......... a drinks machine so I .......... over to get some. I .......... in my money and .......... the button for black coffee. When I .......... up the cup, it .......... only water. At that moment, the hostess .......... that the plane was delayed because of bad weather.
In the early 1980's, Ellis .......... the potential for home computers. Using standard components, he .......... together his first computer, the YX30, and .......... to market it in 1983. At first, he .......... it through specialist electronic magazines. Then he .......... advertisements in the 'quality' Sunday newspapers. It .......... an immediate success.
Later that year he .......... the more powerful YX40. This .......... colour graphics and .......... Ł10 less than the YX30. However, there .......... production problems. Many people .......... their YX40 and .......... for their money back. In 1985,Ellis .......... bankrupt and Hamster .......... the rights to the YX30.
