I really
don't understand the love of Sinclair products. IU'd much rather
have nad use something DEC or HP, or one of the many other companies that
didn't cut every possible corner and then some impossible ones. But then
collectores are often strange.
For me, it's more nostalgia. It was the first computer that was "all
mine". Before that I just used all of my father's hardware.
I prefer to get all the computers I dreampt of using back then, but no
way could I afford (PDP11s, HPs, etc). Not the machines I tried to use
and had no end of problems with.
