i think that 48 Speccy keyboard is cute (i like the small size) but it is not great for typing indeed. weren't those ZX machines rare in canada? or did you live somewhere else?

16K ram pack rather essential. the keyboard errrm Sinclair has a history of bad keyboards

someone famously did chess in 1K for that machine (minus one or two less important elements ilke castling, i think)
