Christmas Comes But Once A Year...

For Christmas 1981 Dad bought me a Book featuring most of the Computers for Sale at the time
I enjoyed reading through the book as it taught me binary arithmetic also
For Christmas 1982 I was given the choice of Computer from the Book I had received the Christmas before
I chose a ZX81 as there was more relevant software for it than the other machines

The Revival of the ZX81 came about when a Film was made & shown on BBC4
I still have my original ZX81 & some books but the ZX81 doesn't work
I have opened it up and hope to salvage enough of the chips as possible

Thank You for reading this post
Kind Regards,
Damian aka Ibrahim

Fun to relive youth eh? I remember when the Spectrum came out, and I saw an article about it in a sinclair mag in the USA. We never got it, but I always wanted one... Just got one almost 40 years later off ebay UK lol

Welcome on board!

You have come to the right place to get your ZX81 back up and running. I still have mine from back in the day but luckily it still works - would hate to have to do anything to it.

"Christmas Comes But Once A Year..."

...except in 2020, when it didn't come at all. It might not come this year, either...
