From one extreme to another for Sinclair's very 1st baby. I don't know about you, but I think this smart, new (ok, it's empty) box is value for money at £14.10 all in, especially when some dicks on Feebay are asking £80+ for other empty and used pieces of cardboard: But to put an example of his baby in there, might set you back a fair bit more... It's tempting though for collectors and fans of the Sinclair models. It might be puny in the performance and games-playing stakes, but my, the ZX80 still oozes future-styling for me... Any of you guys ever owned one, got one, have wet dreams about one...??!
I had an 80 and 81, got the 80 as a wedding present to myself..Twas my first venture in to home computing, er upgraded(?) to an 81 and brought the 16K ram pack with my first credit card. Didn't have a clue what to do with them initially, learned a bit of BASIC and wrote stupid programs to calculate mortgage interest....Yes I was bored..
The empty box probably has more processing power than the ZX80 these days Nice looking wee machine though.
But hard to imagine there was more processing power in the 80 than what took Apollo in to space.. Just lucky they didn't need a ram pack...
Its when Andy finds out that his whole guidance and flight system has been running on a Dragon 32 connected to 2 PP3 batteries...
