    Typical snobbery.

    The Sinclair was rather ridiculed at the time as “not a real computer”.

    Nothing ever changes - Instead of being excited by someone having the skills to implement chess in 670k of memory by using freakin’ machine language, and appreciating the Sinclair for what it is, they compared to what they had.

    I mean wow, if you’ve never done machine language coding… I’m flabbergasted.
