I'm also saddened when people omit the mention of the Sir Clive Sinclair's ZX Spectrum, another affordable little wonder that was responsible for bringing the other half of the world into computing. :)

- stevekemp 7y agoMy first computer, and something that is often referenced in the UK, or amongst people of the right kind of age. The Spectrum was insanely popular, though the development of a new machine also coincided with difficult times. (The Sam Coupe.)
- pjmlp 7y agoSam Coupe was a technical marvel, pity it had some issues with the first models and it was already at the end of the 8 bit generation.
