I missed out on these when they were contemporary as they were never quite as widespread as the Spectrum, C64, BBC B.

Many moons ago I bought a ZX81 in an immaculate Dktronics keyboard / enclosure from a fellow forum member and was then offered a Ti-99 as well, which I declined on the grounds that my taking it would deprive someone who really wanted it. I sometimes regret that decision but I know it would have been like so many of my other old machines: Maintained in perfect working order, but rarely if ever used.
