<< Wow! I had one of those things, too. Little black thing that plugged into a

I am ploughing through a backlog of lists, so i am sorry if another saddo has 
pointed this out already.  The Spectrum had the (in)famous 'dead flesh' 
keyboard.  The ZX81 came with the nasty laminated one.  But how I loved them both.

Not that this is why I am posting, I agree with the book recommendations 
posted by Ken, - but I was helped a lot by the book 'Hyperprogramming' by the 
exotic sounding Colouris & Thimbleby.  (Incidentally, their first names were the 
less-than-exotic  George and Harold)  It came with a CD containing tutorials 
and examples, and took a different but complementary approach to the others.  
Just checked and it is still available on Amazon.
