10 PRINT "I love my Spectrum": GOTO 10

Last week it was the 30th birthday of the Sinclair Spectrum and lots of people have gone online with their memories of this early home computer which produced a whole generation of amateur programmers.  I go back a little further than that to the ZX81 with its magnificent 1k of RAM - and believe me it took some ingenuity to write any meaningful program within 1k.  Actually there was an even earlier ZX80, but it was the 81 that really got the home computing ball rolling, and the Speccy which brought it to the masses.  Take a bow, Sir Clive.
