People make fun of the ZX81/Time Sinclair 1000. It was a super cheap computer which had some questionable corners cut. Let's see if these three machines work, fix them if they don't and then see if these computers are worthy of praise or live up to their bad expectations.

Yes. I like his work, but this is rather glib - and as you point out, not at all representative of how people felt and feel about the Zx81.
