A big "Hello" from Sunny Down Under... Newcastle in OZ!
I am amigaman07, and some of you may know of me from the Commodore 16 & 64 Forums, and AMIGA Forum???
My First Ever Computer was a ZX81, way back in 1984 ! (I was 14 at the time and could Not Afford a ZX Spectrum)
I Traded in my "INTELEVISION" for the ZX81, which included a MEMOTECH RAM Pack with a Whopping 16kb RAM !
I was Really Excited with my Deal, until I got it Home, and found the ZX81 was a B&W Computer with No Sound!
(Try telling a 14 year Old why the ZX81 had an EAR Socket bat No Sound!!!) "Can I have my INTELEVISION back Please SIR?"
I must admit, I had a lot of Fun Programming on my ZX81, and playing the odd Game. I learned how to Load and Save to Cassette, which eventually came in useful when I eventually Migrated to the ZX Spectrum 48k, MSX 64k and the Commodore 64.
Only recently have I once again acquired a ZX81 (2 Actually) bith Timex 1000's.
Going to have a Tinker and a Nice trip down Memort Lane.
Enjoy,
Darren (amigaman07)

Enjoy your trip

Welcome home
I've been to Newcastle several times, but that was at the British east coast.
I'm from Germany and I love the silence of the Zeddy with on sound and even no noise of the keyboard membrane.
I sold some ZX81 network cards to Australia so there are more Zeddy fans down under than expected
Kind regards Paul

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

Welcome Darren and yes I know where Newcastle is, Mrs Moggy's uncle lived there before he sadly passed over.
