True values ​​never grow old

Hello, All! 'Computerra' #36/2000 SINCLAIR LIVED, SINCLAIR LIVE... Today, when computer components are becoming cheaper days, and by the hour, few people think that in within a decade or two, modern personal computers will be able to be sold at their current price. However, Zebra Systems (www.zebrasystems.com), which recently decided to finally implement a whole warehouse of good old Sinclair ZX-81s, selling them at a price 1981 - $99.95 - and there doesn't seem to be a lack of demand complains. Businessmen who have been kept in warehouses for almost two decades one of the most popular PC models at one time, they get good income - collectors and nostalgic geeks willingly they pay a hundred dollars for a machine with a megahertz processor Zilog Z-80A and 2 KB of RAM. 'Do it' kits itself' (and the Sinclair ZX-81 traditionally comes in the form individual components with assembly instructions) are sold only in the USA and Canada, since the American version of the computer Supports only NTSC television standard. However, Europeans will also get legendary 'sinclairs' - the company Grok Developments was found in Britain, which sells a Europeanized version of the car to everyone with support for both PAL and NTSC (it does, however, have RAM half as much - 1 KB). The price is about the same as in the USA -£66.00. In general, true values ​​do not age. - V.G. Best regards, Ivan Roshchin. [ZX] [BestView 3.0 - 26%]
