Reader Comment of the Day:
And still the ZX Spectrum piece (http://www.silicon.com/a50504 ) keeps the reader comments flooding in:

"I too must admit to being one of the many IT professionals who would not have entered the industry if it was not for the 'speccy'.

My old 48K model, has for the last few years, graced my office wall in a glass-mounted box with the words - In Case of Emergency Break Glass - etched on the front."
