Re: Where it all began...for some

I think you're missing the context here.

People mostly bought the ZX Spectrum for things like gaming. The 3 you listed would have been doorstops for that.

The 6502 may have worked in the arcade for VERY early games, but couldn't compete with the Z80.

The 6502 was on it's last legs by the time the ZX came out.

"I will give it a break on that one though, it was a good starting point for many people."

You've missed the point entirely.
