  ZX Spectrum
  Spectrum
  
     <computer> Sinclair's first personal computer with a colour
     display.  The Spectrum used the Zilog Z80 processor like its
     predecessors the ZX-80 and ZX-81.  It was originally
     available in 16k and 48k versions using cassette tape and
     later grew to 128k and sprouted floppy disks.  It had a
     wider and more solid case and a marginally better "dead flesh"
     keyboard.  Unlike the earlier models, it didn't require the
     presence of a cold carton of milk to prevent it overheating.
     It was possibly the most popular home computer in the UK for
     many years.
  
     The TK-90X was a clone.
