Happy Birthday ZX81
Posted on Mar 5, 2011 in TechnologyI was shocked to learn this morning that Today (5 March 2011) marks the 30th anniversary of my first ever computer the humble Sinclair ZX81. 
Although it wasn’t really my computer as it was bought for my older sister, it did serve as my introduction to computing and at the age of six my introduction to basic programming. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
Here’s a recently made demo for ZX81 (with 16kb or more RAM) to show you what the ZX81 just can do.
