Completely agree, but the ZX80/1 made computers very, very affordable. I was 15 when I managed to convince my parents that I desperately needed one of those. Back in 1981,
zx80 was 1980 imho, and had just 1k ram, and 8k rom, fully expandeble to a cpm system that is can run rc7000 software :)
I think it was about DKK1500, I'm not sure.
i still have danish books with that prise from that time
It was a hell of a jump from the RC7000 with teletype and 32k core memory we had at school.
i remember comet in multiuser setup with shared floppy disks, and printers or plotters, even some of them with some lego or fisher teknic electronik learning kits :)
