Oh yes - those were the days!!!!!

I remember thinking all my birthdays had come at once when I managed to
upgrade my Sinclair ZX81 from 1kb to 16kb RAM.  And, that 16kb cost me
more than 64Mb would today...
The printer was a small thermal affair that printed on what can only be
described as silver toilet tissue at 50cps.  One generally printed about
4 copies, and then created one readable copy by the liberal use of
scissors/tape...

ObOldFogie - I seem to remember a GUI bearing more than a little
resemblance to Windoze that ran on a 48k Sinclair Spectrum...

PS - The old ZX81 now functions as a very useful doorstop ;-D
