Probably an early one:

Squidgy! :D

Never mind. I have a roll of sticky back neoprene foam tape that's exactly the right width to cut ZX81 feet from, so mine may end up with squidgies after I've cracked it open. ;)

FTFY. :D

And no. I'm not the one selling on eBay who's put up a ZX81 with 16KB RAM and composite video mods that looks like it's been run over by a truck.

:lol:
