Due to their poor reliability Amstrad's PC division was relaunched as Viglen ;)

I have a Sinclair ZX81 in the loft which is unopened, I bought it in the mid-eighties from a local independent toy shop for the princely sum of 40 quid. god knows what it's worth in its current state, however I won't sell it. ;)Quote:

I suppose the time has come for a sleep, boring really...but i've got things to do tomorrow
Nighty night everyone... well Dave really, as I think you are the only one still up.. :wave:
The monetary value isn't important to me, just that the ZX81 was my first computer so it has sentimental value. The example I spoke about has never been out of its box, therefore it is pristine, as is the packaging, which was wrapped in brown paper for me when I purchased it as it is still :)Quote:
