  1. Forty-five years ago today, Clive Sinclair introduced the ZX81. It wasn’t the first computer that I’d used, but it was the first that I could call my own.

    I had neither the skill nor the coordination to build the kit, but thankfully my dad had plenty of both. He even modified the RF modulator so that I could use a black-and-white monitor that I’d bought at a swap meet.

    Thanks for this computer, Sir Clive. And for the everything else, Dad.

    Ja, fing in der ersten Klasse an, mit einem #SinclairZX81 mit Gumminippel Tastatur.

    Als Wahlfach, nach der Schule, hatte ich bis zur 3 Klasse #Flugmodellbau und danach #Elektronik

  3. Happy 44th birthday to the Sinclair ZX81.

    It wasn’t the first computer that I’d used, but was the first that I owned (and bought with my own money). A good part of what I’m able do with computers today, has its roots in what I learned on this little machine that could.

    Thanks for the memories, little guy.

  4. #retrocomputing #retrogaming Found these when I cleared out some retrotech. I've hung on to them even though as I remember I never got them to load on my #sinclairzx81 even when I borrowed the extension memory pack.

  5. This blob of pixels running towards me was the first time I felt true fear as a child.
