"I might be able to blag a ZX81 for Christmas"

Teletext-compatible?

Not on its own, but there is/was the Volex TTX2000 S teletext adapter, I have one somewhere.

Ahem

I remember seeing this at the time. The screenshot on the monitor is totally fake - orange and no border!

sinclairresearch.bsky.social•46 days ago

Advertising Standards had a word about that.

I wonder why they used a faked image with only two colours, instead of a genuine screen capture of the Spectrum's very bright and colourful output?

Colour? 48K??? WANT THIS!

I had one and fell in love with computers and software development as a result. 😍😍

In hindsight though “high resolution graphics” is a relative term. 🤷‍♂️😉

Note the early and different design for the Microdrive cartridges.

Impure thoughts!
