Bummer. At least with Sinclair stuff it's pretty cut and dried as far as
historians are concerned. I've just got to avoid giving them the chance to
'big up' something that has no reason to be, eg anything above the rubber
key 48k spectrum.
Makes me wonder whether I should mention that the ZX80 should never have
existed in that form and that the ZX81 was what the ZX80 should've been :)
