Whilst my first programs was on the acorn atom, Zx80 and zx81
the zx spectrum hold a special place in my memory because the manual was fantasic - I learnt almost everything from it.
and then progressed on to typing the monterous (using the aweful rubber keys) blocks of programs from magazines - THEN I learnt how to debug and rewrite the games that I'd just typed in from the magazines, because they never worked first time.
but it felt like I was living in the future
Thanks Clive - RIP
