Celebrating 40 years of ZX Spectrum

Well color me old! The ZX Spectrum (affectionately known as Speccy" or just Spectrum" by its fans), one of the best-selling microcomputers of all time, was released 40 years ago today. Can you believe it still has a large and active community creating new content, archiving old content, and hacking on all sorts of hardware?

I have never owned or used one, but the Spectrum is one of those machines everyone is familiar with - like the C64, the Apple II, TRS 80, and so on.
