1ns1p1d@lemm.eeto Cassette Futurism@lemm.ee•Build Your Own Sinclair ZX81 Ad, BYTE Magazine, Volume 7, Number 9, September 1982English15·1 month agoYup! I remember it so well. I even remember seeing this ad in a magazine and begging my dad to order it… I was 10 years old, and built it with him.
I also remember going to a home computer sale event in my hometown. No shops were selling computer stuff in that town yet. Men with beards and long hair laughing that I was buying 1k Chess to play on my new computer.
The location for that sale was turned into public toilets.
It was great. I was 10. I needed to be able to win once in a while, and I did.
They were laughing because they were early neckbeards. They probably had 16k of ram on their fancy BBC Micros.
