Sinclair ZX-81 (print ads in USA)

The Sinclair machines were among the cheapest (especially in the USA), the second machine, the ZX-81, was a great leap forward from the ZX-80.

Therefore, the price also increased, but it could be purchased optionally in a set at a price of $99.95. In 1981-82, this price was quite 'ridiculously low' - just for comparison: Atari 400 16Kb was $329, Atari 800 was $699, but even the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A, which had been devalued due to the market crash, was $379.

ZX-81 was not successful in the USA, but it managed to sell 1.5 million units in the UK and EU (mainly due to its price).

For professional reasons I have to be aware of what the unmodified user experience of online media platforms is like, which occasionally means using YouTube without an ad blocker, and apparently when you skip an ad break on YouTube the video is no longer guaranteed to resume at the same point it was interrupted? What the fuck.
