On many BRITISH magazines I have (Sinclair User, Personal Computer News, Yours Sinclair, Your Spectrum etc.) it is reported that the Spectrum in its hayday had more than 5,000,000 users. While this could be an opinion (but it can't be far from the thruth) I don't think that you in the States realize what the Spectrum meant to million of Europeans and far east citizens. In the Russia alone there must be at least 12 different Spectrum clones (they did not care much about copyright). They were also made in Portugal, Spain, Brasil, Hong Kong and elsewhere. The Spectrum is definetely the computer for which have been published the greatest number of programs (mainly games). I alone have about 12,000 (yes: twelve thousands) different ones and I have not got them all! Beat that if you can. I don't think that the Apple II, with all its good points (and all the admiration I have for it), ever came near that.
