zx spectrum turns 30...

1982, april 23rd the spectrum was released... think of it like the UK's attempt at the c64..

google has changed it logo to speccy style graphics.. but it's not 100% correct (it wouldn't work on a real machine) :)

there is an exhibit in london for it next weekend that I'm hopefully going to.

    I had the ZX81 which I thought was really cool at the time!

    I believe that my 48K Spectrum Mk2, purchased in 1983, is still fully operational (although it is no longer in my possession).
