Hardware MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X 11G Review

I remember it well. I was about 9 when the zx81 came out and my best friend at the time had one for Christmas (or rather his family bought one for the household, but as far as we were concerned it was his ). I held-off for a couple more years and saved up for a Commodore 64.

My '64 lasted me through to the late 80's when I bought an A500, and my friend ditched his zx81 in favour of a CPC464 somewhere along the line but things were different back then: the emphasis was on computing rather than computers, and the lust for the latest hardware wasn't nearly as strong as it is today, where manufacturers have made upgrading a competitive sport in its own right.
