Quoted from VolunteerPin:3. My first computer Sinclair ZX81. Came with one KB and my dad upgraded me to 16! Did have a flight simulator that took over 5 minutes to load off of a cassette deck (no floppy drive). Learned some basic programming. Kept that bad boy until the huge upgrade to a Commodore 64 computer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX81#/media/File%3ASinclair-ZX81.png

I had one of those.
Bought the kit over US mail to build it yourself for $99 at 16KB, probably around 1980.
Bought a TI-99/4A several months later.
Used the same cassette recorder with the both computers.
Didn't have 5-1/2 disc drives until later.
