4K of RAM, luxury =oP
My zx81 (GBP29.95 for the kit in `82) made do with 1K
and we thought we were lucky ;-)
Actually someone did manage to write a chess program 
in that 1024 byte =o)

I remember that UK101, though, a friend built one  - there 
was always another expansion to plug in: colour graphics,
sound, etc. They were exciting times for hardware - now
all the fun has moved to software, and if you still get
your kicks from soldering things together hi-fi is the 
place to be :-)
