  ZX Spectrum
       
           Sinclair's first personal computer with a colour
          display.  The Spectrum used the Zilog Z80 processor like its
          predecessors the ZX-80 and ZX-81.  It was originally
          available in 16k and 48k versions using cassette tape and
          later grew to 128k and sprouted floppy disks.  It had a
          wider and more solid case and a marginally better "dead flesh"
          keyboard.  Unlike the earlier models, it didn't require the
          presence of a cold carton of milk to prevent it overheating.
          It was possibly the most popular home computer in the UK for
          many years.
       
          The TK-90X was a clone.
