Subject	Spectrum worst computer
Message-ID	<o93g0g$jb6$1@dont-email.me>

The Odyssey² is produced in 1978.These are the characteristics: 64 bytes 
RAM, 1024 bytes ROM. 160 × 200 resolution
This game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFy876HAV4QIt has been rescheduled 
for Spectrumhttp://gmjelec.co.uk/files/pp.zip
Well, despite the terrible limits of Odyssey² the Spectrum version is LOWER.

If you want old computers, last year I saw a demo of Colossus at Bletchley 
Park.
 No display just a punched tape input.
 No games for it as fare as I know.

Best computer ever? Has to be the ZX80 because of its powerful Integer only BASIC and advanced features such as the expansion port.

The most worst computer has to be the Commodore MAX - I mean it literally had MAX in its name and yet only a pitiful amount of RAMs. It also had a crappy SID and VIC-II chip from what I understand. The keyboard was ace though.

Regards,

Shaun.
