The Sinclair ZX81
 

When I was 6 years old (now 26), my father works in tech institute and made Spectrum ZX 64k for me from microscheme and diplomate (case). I play many games, used tape recorder for load it, programming (made easy lines or cirlces) and learned english.
So many sounds will play in my heart if I see LOAD ""

The Sinclair ZX81 was small, black with only 1K of memory - that's sure little memory. It's like a calculator or something. The computer helped 30 years ago.

I had a Sinclair ZX81 then moved up to a commodore 64...

I've had several different ZX Spectrum computers, built them by myself long time ago :)
Sweet memories :thumbsup

HA!

I remember saving to buy the 16k memory upgrade (a fair sized box attached to unit)
-- blistering fast performance after that, lol!

For a while they made the ZX81 in Nashua, and whenever we would drive past the factory, a much younger me would think, "There's exciting 'future' stuff going on in there!"

Good times, good times :thumbsup

I had the Sinclair ZX 80. The 81 model was like the Cadillac of affordable computing. Basically you could program a checking account program or a laser light show.

This was my very first computer followed by the ZX Spectrum.. oooh the memories..

Afew years later I can remember a salesman in the computer shop saying nobody would EVER need more than 1mb of memory :upsidedow

LoL :1orglaugh

That was my very first computer. Except I remember it being called the Timex Sinclair 1000 in the states.

I built a couple of those back in the day :)

I liked this machine. It wa a big challenge to write machine code for this 1K memory.

Братан. Да не было никогда ZX 64K! Был ZX Spectrum на 16K и 48K, соотвественно. Потом испанцы сделали ZX Spectrum 128K, права на который у них спиздил Синклер, не приложивший к проекту и пальца. Ну а потом пошли отечественные модели - пентагоны там всякие, профи и скорпионы с охуенным количеством памяти, винчестерами, навороченными графическими и музыкальными контролерами. Только все это было потом. Ты молодой еще, и не помнишь всей той истории.

I wanted one of those, but ended up with an Atari 600XL as my first computer. Lucky me.
