I started with a ZX81, and I built it from a kit.

So did I, but I didn't know it was available as a kit.

Re: Sinclair Spectrum

There was even a word processor for the Spectrum 16K
And now we need Gigabytes to run anything.

Re: Sinclair Spectrum

I got a 16k Apple ][ in 1978, so never had much interest in the Timex Sinclair. But there are javascript-based online emulators for most of these old systems. I found this one for the ZX-81 for example.... re-live your glory days!
