Re: The best thing about the ZX81...
I also was at secondary school in the 80s, and sadly it was a fairly dismal experience (and of course unfortunately I didn’t realise quite how dismal at the time, as it was all that I knew).
I grew up in a turgidly boring small town (bloated village would be a better description, lots of newish commuter houses, but absolutely no increase in the non-existent community facilities to match), and the teachers were on strike for almost all of my secondary schooling. So, no after school clubs, no school trips, and not even any street corners to hang out on. At least we did have a ZX Spectrum to try to stimulate our minds away from the otherwise soul-crushing ennui...
