Comment Timex Sinclair ZX-81 (Score 1) 857

... with 64k expansion block. Hooked up to a B&W 12" TV and an el-cheapo casetterecorder. That full-membrane keyboard killed my fingers after hours of typing in basic programs from various zines. I only recently realized how much I was hacking back then trying to adapt basic programs for other systems like apple work on this thing. My dad would help me by reading LOC while I typed. Thinking back, again, on the keyboard - I can't imagine his suffering with adult fingers on that thing.

At $120 for the whole setup, it was waaaaay cheaper than anything else and gave me a unique learning experience.

Yep, I just picked one up for free to replace my (gasp, G4) and it works perfectly well for me in a recording environment with some massive storage space attached to it. Doesn't beat me MBP in terms of performance, DUH, but does some pretty heavy lifting for what I use it for.
