I remember when some friends ordered the ZX-81 kit (Although I don't
remember if it had that designation). I think they had ordered 10 kits at
$99 each. They planned an assembly party.
The order arrived on a Friday so they all decided to crank up the assembly
line that night after dinner.
Finally the fateful moment arrived and they opened the box only to
discover a note in the box that they were out of kits and please accept
the assembled versions as substitutions.
Sorta killed the evening!
