Actually, I believe the ZX-81 came out in 1981, as shown below. I bought
my Timex-Sinclair in late 1982, if I remember correctly. Also, the
documentation that was included with the ZX-81 I have has letters from
Sinclair Research dated March 10, 1982, as well as a review of the ZX-81 in
Englad dated August 1981. Two interesting things about this:
1) the ZX-81 I have was originally delivered in kit form and still has the
assembly diagrams and such;
2) The magazine review, taken from "Personal Computer World" and
re-published in "Creative Computing", November 1981, states that at the time,
the ZX-81 was available in England but not yet in the U.S.
