    u must not remember the trs-80... lown res graphics, monochrome.... programming in qbasic - i think the zx81 had hi res graphics and colour from memory
    they did a good job with very little RAM all in all ;-)

      It didn't, the ZX81 was monochrome and as for being "hi-res" it was as hi-res as early TV sets.

      Its big brother the ZX Spectrum had "hi-res" (compared to that of the ZX81) and had colour. The base ZX Spectrum computer started at 16KB of RAM and was upgraded to 48KB. The last model had a massive 128KB of RAM

        Ah yes... more popular in the UK as I remember - there were very few of those in Australia - All us nerds in the early 80's had system 80's and then went on to the Commodore Amiga... A machine with multitasking and 1024 colours well before the IBM compatibles had 8 colours :-)
        btw I was super amazed that my Vaio loaded Kubuntu without a hitch and all the function keys and touch screen is operational - don't know if the sound is working but I don't play games so don't really care lol.
