But would it work? What would it be worth? I would think only enthusiasts
and musuems would buy it, for a small price only.

Speaking of Spectrums etc,

I saw a ZX81 on e-bay the other day as well as printer for it :-)

...if you really miss 'em :)

-> Was it a ZX Spectrum or a ZX80? The ZX80 came out in 1980, I had one, a
-> small white box, smaller than today's PC keyboards, I had a
-> black box that
-> stuck on the back which boosted the RAM from 1K up to 16K (most
-> emails today
-> are more than 1K in size).
-> This was followed by the ZX81 in 1981
-> The ZX Spectrum came out in 1982 and was the first home computer to have
-> colour and sound. I had a 48K version and later a 128K version
-> -- love them
-> all.
-> I recently discovered a ZX Spectrum emulator for Windows (SpecX) which is
-> fun, just can't remember where all the keywords were on the old Speccy
-> keyboard. The program comes with an image of a Spectrum but it's
-> too small
-> to make out the words properly.
-> I used to type in pages of Basic programming, spent ages writing the
-> programs beforehand or modifying programs out of magazines.
-> Computers have
-> come a long way since then....
->
-> I also remember hogging the family TV set for hours using the computers,
-> until my parents bought me a small colour TV to use.
