Mid-year 1983, a St Louis-based grocery store chain was giving away, with 
the purchase of 3 tubes of toothpaste-

1. Sinclair/Timex Z-81
2. 8 Kb (or was it 16?)memory expansion
3. Cassettes for a spread sheet, a database, and a backgammon game

The Sinclair had its OS and BASIC on ROM.  It also had BASIC functions on 
the keys.  That is, instead of typing "Poke", you simply held one key and 
pushed the key that said "Poke".  My kids and I wpent many happy hours 
playing with this...
