The Spectum changed my life
On leaving school in 1971 I started work in the clothing industry, became a tailor and then watched the industry and future prospects collapse around me.
I first bought a zx81 and progressed to a spectrum. I learned coding and decided the future was in IT. So embarked on an Open university degree in Computing. Spending the rest of my working life as IT support in Education.
I had a few other home computers, but it is the Spectrum that was my one true computer love
