How much would you pay for a PC with 128KB RAM, and no hard disk?

In today's money (inflation adjusted)

Hey ZX-81 gang here!

999SKR (Swedish crowns) guess it was like 100$ and it gave you a 1KB 1Mhz computer :-) around 400SKR more for an expansion card with a whopping 16KB...

Went the C64 way but damn that Spectrum was sexy back in the day.

ZX81 here too! Bought 500FF in 1981 iirc, in kit.

Clavier membrane team !

BTW did you solder it yourself?

My father did, I was 10. But he then teached me a lot of things like soldering, programming in basic and Z80 assembly

Excellent!
