Esquire reports that the iconic ZX Spectrum may be about to have a comeback. For a brief moment in the 1980s, Britain was a technology superpower, with the iconic ZX Spectrum earning Sir Clive Sinclair his Sir and turning Britain into a fizzing hub of game-creation. OK I didnt actually own a ZX Spectrum back then, but two of my best friends did, and we spent many hours programming games into the ZX. The ZX wasnt just for gaming though; one of my friends wrote a program to check if the bank was charging the correct interest and fees on his fathers bank account - it wasnt. This retro ZX Spectrum is now on my "want-it" list.
