Oh, very interesting.
The creators of what is thought to be the first personal computer virus started out a #Sinclair #ZX80 repairers in Pakistan.
The virus was actually a copy protection mechanism for some PC software they wrote for a Doctor Friend.

Wow, finding a complete #Sinclair #ZX80 in the wild wasn’t on my bingo card for today!
#Retrogaming
Today in "adventures in ZX80 programming", I've learned that one can't store arbitrary binary data in a BASIC comment or string constant, even after avoiding the obvious forbidden characters, because it seems like quite a lot of non-printable characters freak the machine out.
I guess there's a good reason why everyone seems to store their binary data at arbitrary higher addresses, out of the reach of the BASIC editor.
I wanted to add a composite video mod to this #ZX80 but it’s in such pristine condition I don’t want to touch it! I kinda wish it was tattier to give me an excuse to “fix” it. The previous owner added the newer ROM and keyboard and really took special care of it. #retrocomputer
When I first used the #ZX80, I thought the “integral features” had to do with calculus. They are in fact the only commands that aren’t entered in single-keyword form from the keyboard.
Finally picked up an example of the first computer I ever used (without requiring trading body parts) the #ZX80 #retrocomputer
You know I always wanted to get a Sinclair computer but I think I will wait until I move out :P

And finally ... this thing. Found it rummaging around in some boxes. Tony got very excited 😄 Look at the postmark on the box ... 1980! Addressed to the same unit we were in. As he let me keep the Dymo, I let him keep this. THE END.

Bonus update 2: a bit more organization and Photoshopping and the Grand Folder of RetroComputing has gained Atari machines, additional Commodore machines, the BBC Micro, and Sinclair ZX80, ZX81 & ZX Spectrum.
