I'm sure this will bore a lot of the blip republic, but when I came across it in my folks' attic today I saw a blip in front of me.

Using this in 1980 was my first encounter with a computer and I think it scarred me for life. The mighty 1 Kilobyte of RAM and smooth membrane keyboard which had multi-function keys were not the most user friendly. It was the first home computer available in the UK for under a £100.

I still have some sentimental memories though and I was surprised to read on the Wikipedia page that "surviving machines in good condition are quite uncommon and can fetch high prices by collectors"
