I still was living in Germany at that time and the ZX81 was my first encounter with computer technology. If I remember correct, people also were able to order the ZX81 as a "kit". I can remember that we went to the Bookstore to buy the american and english computer magazines and then we sat for hours on the ZX81 at home typing up the program listings from the magazines.
