3. ZX81 (although wasn't the Commodore 64 in competition with the Spectrum not the ZX81 )
4. Grifter (I am sure that the name did not have the connotations at the time the it does now, although still somehow appropriate )
5. Dallas

[Bagpuss]

3. ZX81 (being a gamer not a programmer the rubber keyboard 48k is where the fun started for me)

The sinclair spectrum had 16 or 48k the zx81 was it's forerunner and had 1k and a membrane keyboard rather than a rubber one



Now I feel old

Only as a last resort. Normally I do what I want, then change the spec to match.

I think you might be working on my project. Stand up and wave so I can see you.

[Moscow Mule]

Star Wars all the way.
Adam and the Ants to start the decade, 808State & orbital to finish it.
ZX81
Mag Burner *the best* bmx on our street
My mum made us watch Dallas.

[VectraMan]

Out of interest if you're a developer do you read the spec?

Only as a last resort. Normally I do what I want, then change the spec to match.

Star Wars
Boy George - Neither really though as it was not my sort of thing (Journey, Bon Jovi, Guns & Roses etc)
C64 - I had both but liked my C64 as it could play games while the ZX81 really couldn't do very much at all.
Grifter - only because I had a Chopper and between almost having my nads removed by that gearstick, and the fact my caring parents bought me a full size one when I was 8 (He'll grow into in!) I only have bad memories of that crock!
Dallas - both were rubbish but that was less so.
