I just became one. What the hell does it mean. I get the 'H4x0r0r' part, just not the 'ZX81' part.

At least I'm no longer a Pimp. That was getting old.

Looks like a sleek version of a Speak 'n Spell

Yeah, I was thinking that myself. Of course, it would be even more sad if it said "Speak 'n Spell H4x0r0r" :rolleyes:

...and you programmed it in Basic and stored the programs on tape. I made one of my very own, I did, it was a perpetual calendar sort of thing. You told it the date and it told you what day of the week it was. I also had another one that plotted the orbits of the planets, and another one with a very nice animation. Well, as nice an animation as you can get with a display of 64 x 40 pixels in black and white.

Darn! I miss the old klutz.

Yep. No Doom3 on that one, but it was fun programming labyrinths.

P'ah! I HAD a 48k ZX-Spectrum, lowly peon. You may worship me, if you want.

Hey! I started on one of those, a Timex Sinclair. Ours had whopping 2K.

Had to hook it to Black & White TV. Program in basic. Cassette tape storage.

It was the square-wheeled tricycle of computers. :cool:

It would have been easier to program a speak n' spell. :D
