   I was thinking it was a ZX80, so I looked at Widipedia and yes they   
   have a page for the ZX80 and ZX81 PC's.

   i also learned BASIC programming and wrote s few programs too.   
      
   After I joined a FIDO BBS I liked seeing what others would create and   
   show in the QWK_BAS echo.   
      
   I  think that echo has been dropped as I couldn't find it on this BBS.   
   I logged on Doc's Place BBS as a Guest and looked through the echo list   
   He carries and didn't see it on His list either.   
      
   I really enjoyed reading that echo, and tried all of the programs that   
   could run on the C=64,   
   A lot of them didn't have to have any adjustment to let them run on the   
   Commodore.   
   After I got the 486 with MS-DOS 5.0, I didn't have to do any mods.   
      
   Those fellows in that echo really had fun writing programs.   
      
   I remember Kurt Kuzba(sp?) wrote one saying "Basic Can't Do This", but   
   IT Did!
