I subsequently sold my ZX81 for a Spectrum 48k. I also had one of those thermal printers as well.

Meh.

Oh yeah, my first door wedge was a ZX81, happy days playing 3D MONSTER MAZE.

Missed all the Spectrum based stuff by being far too young.

First computer I remember was a 486 running 32MB of RAM if memory serves…

Many a happy hour spent typing out lines of code from computer magazines (and debugging or waiting for next months issue with the corrections).

I had one of those, I quite liked it, although the benefit of the spectrum was that there was so much content - mags and the like

Yep, the TI was “quirky” :slightly_smiling_face:
