Talking It started with this computer

Sinclair ZX80
Quote:
The Sinclair ZX80 was a home computer brought to market in 1980 by Sinclair Research of Cambridge, England. It was notable for being the first computer available in the United Kingdom for under a hundred pounds (a price tag of £99.95, to be exact). It was available in kit form, where purchasers had to assemble and solder it together, and as a ready-built version at a slightly higher cost for those without the skill or inclination to build their own unit. The ZX80 was very popular straight away, and for some time there was a waiting list of several months for either version of the machine.

My first one was the Commodore VIC 20. It had 5 kb of memory although only 3.5 of it was available for code. You could buy cartridges and expand it all the way up to 64 kb! The video resolution was 176 x 184 with 8 bit color. I'm not sure what the processor speed was.

I also had the optional cassette memory storage unit!
