I still remember to this day when I bought my ZX81 for 999SKR at the local bookshop Quidings. My father wanted us kids to do motocross, but I hated it sold mine to my bigger brother and had the funds for the computer.
The 1KB RAM was a little bit on the low end but with an expansion card you could do and learn a lot.
Went on with the C64 and so on ...
That's a superb trajectory.
I went on to the +2A and then an Amiga 500. Loved that machine, but always the fondest memories for me were typing in code out of magazines on my ZX.
I "knew" the C64 was better but I always was in awe of the ZX Spectrum.
Sigh, good times!
