Tao of MacSinclair
Sinclair Research made some of the most influential and affordable home computers of the early 1980s.(...)

I wish I had taken more photos of my computers back in the interesting time before PCs and Macs took over. I went through so many.
I so wish that.
Edit: A small gallery of photos I did happen to take of some of my systems from long past = https://www.flickr.com/photos/blakespot/albums/72157669919294028/

My Oldest Computer Photos
Photos in thus gallery range from ~1980 to 1992. These are photos of my original ownership of these systems, not systems I've more recently acquired since I started collecting vintage computers. I no longer own any of these particular machines shown in the photos.
µPJust published: The chapter from Melanie Fritsch and me about the historical ways to (de)scribe #videogame music and sounds. I contributed a part about sound generation and description wiht #BASIC for the #Atari #8-Bit #HomeComputers
IS BASIC from the #Enterprise128 is the foremost advanced #BASIC dialects for #8Bit #HomeComputers. But it is very(!) slow. The "Creative Computing Benchmark" took nearly 5 minutes to run (comparable to the #SinclairZXSpectrum and the #TRS80 Model 100) but produced excellent results: "accuracy" is quite good (comparable with #BBCMicro) and "random" is the best of all computers measured in the contest from 1984:
ITs History!The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

Print'n'Plotter sold their #graphics software under the same product name #Paintbox like #Quantel, but for #Sinclair #homecomputers. While #colourClash was a serious limitation in the 80s, it's a #8bit #cgi #glitch effect today available in smartphone camera apps.
Our #vector #graphic #illustration of this legendary #retrocomputer is a form of #digital #lithography. #IT's made in #svg tech and created with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai
