Come on now, Bill -- I assume you've read an Ashton-Tate dBase

in that era pre-PC (and the early PC docs weren't much to write
home about).

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.

I think the ZX81 was intended to be affordable,
and many people owe their
start in computers to Mr. Sinclair for producing a computer that could be
bought on a limited budget.
Yes, but the instructions for the kit, amongst the worst ever written, are
inexcusable!
