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)
