It's all so long ago, but I wasn't an early buyer. In fact, I got mine
s/h. Never knew that the early packs had 15k.

Nearly all Sinclair stuff was. You didn't buy their gear for the
design aesthetic though; You bought it because it was cheap. :-D

Oh yes. :-(
After the ZX, I moved to an Atari 800 (a *real* keyboard!). After a
couple of years, the mags started creating checksum generators so that
debugging got a lot easier; Type in the line, hit enter, if checksum
calculated == checksum in mag, you moved on.
