New video is out!

Mail has been piling up so time to rip open some packages and take a look at a mix of smaller items to pimp some of my existing gear as well as a new acquisition or two.

Oh! The ZX81 is celebrating its 45th anniversary today 🎂

It was the first computer my father ever bought. I was fascinated to watch him type on the keyboard and see things appear on the TV screen 🤩

Like a clock with moving hands! 🕓

Forty-five years ago today, Clive Sinclair introduced the ZX81. It wasn’t the first computer that I’d used, but it was the first that I could call my own.

I had neither the skill nor the coordination to build the kit, but thankfully my dad had plenty of both. He even modified the RF modulator so that I could use a black-and-white monitor that I’d bought at a swap meet.

Thanks for this computer, Sir Clive. And for the everything else, Dad.

The first video is online, the Scandinavian Retro peertube channel is a go!

In the first episode of Scandinavian Retro I explain what this peertube channel is about, do a quick tour around the new retro room, we look at a number of items that came in the mail and do a quick test of two of those items: the Amstrad CPC 464 and the 6128.

Ja, fing in der ersten Klasse an, mit einem #SinclairZX81 mit Gumminippel Tastatur.

Als Wahlfach, nach der Schule, hatte ich bis zur 3 Klasse #Flugmodellbau und danach #Elektronik
