The Sinclair ZX81 home computer, released by Sinclair Research in 1981, was the follow up to the company's ZX80. The case was black, with a membrane keyboard; the machine's distinctive appearance was the work of industrial designer Rick Dickinson. Video output, as in the ZX80, was to a television set, and saving and loading programs was via an ordinary home audio tape recorder to magnetic audio tapes. It was very significant historically because it was the first home computer under $100 USD (in kit form), and therefore was a big volume seller. A US-only version was produced by Timex as the "Timex Sinclair 1000".
