Another deprived USian here who has never seen a Spectrum in the wild, although the InterTubes have given me a certain fascination for them.
As a teen I drooled over ads for the ZX80 & ZX81. Wow! A computer for “only” $100!
I was surprised by how small they really were when the TS-1000 appeared in U.S. stores.
@Ryuthrowsstuff: LOLing at the wood-paneled computer concept.
