[Web4lib] Spectrum computer - 25 years old

[Thomas Bennett]

I remember the first computer I wrote my first program on in BASIC, a Timex 
Sinclair 1000, the North American version of the Sinclair ZX-81.    I had the 
large 16k extension and the thermal printer and a 3.25 mhz Zilog Z80A 
processor.  Priced cheap enough at $99.95USD you could buy another one when 
your current one overheated and burnt out.  I went through at least 3 or 4 
TS-1000s.

If it's not as simple as possible to try it, then the barrier to entry is too 
high.
