The Sinclair ZX10 of the printing age?
(You whippersnappers might not know, but when Ataris and Commodores were going for $400 to $800, a nutbar from the UK brought out a personal computer for $100. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX81)
The m3d making records on kickstarter seems like it’s cut from the same cloth. One of the things I hadn’t seen yet in the hype was a plain document explaining their goals and methods. There’s definitely some interesting stuff here, but like the $100 Personal Computer, it’s build volume is a bit smaller than I’m interested in at this time.)
talking about taking a stroll down really old memory lane. never had a Sinclair (friend did), but I had the Vic-20 and yup, kind of feels like old times now I think about it when using my Simple.
I seem to recall he had fingers in a portable TV and vehicle with three wheels…nutbar doesn’t have to have negative connotations, perhaps mad scientist would have been a better choice of phrase.
My first computer was a ZX Spectrum, with the tape deck (remember that noise!) and the printer with narrow paper. Fabulous. Followed by an Amstrad, possibly a 1512, then a Mac Classic, then back to windows and long string of non classics!
@Gareth_Owen Oh my goodness, I remember the skiing one Don’t remember the gun though! Good old days of the tone of the tape. I always wanted a Quickshot 2 for my ZX. Very sadly, its all gone, my mum had a loft clear out and took it all to the tip Should have taken it with me!
