My first PC


This is the ZX81 home computer, released by Sinclair Research (UK). I bought it in the early 80's. The case was black, with a membrane keyboard. Video output was to a television set, and saving and loading programs was via an ordinary home audio tape recorder to audio cassette.

It is a very ancient PC compared with what we are having now but in the 80's this is actually a working PC. Believe it or not the memory is only 1KB RAM..faint...!

I lost it when a fire gutted my shop-house in 1984...sigh! Infact..I lost all my possessions then :(
