This was *much* later, and the ZX machines were vastly more powerful than anything based on the
8008 would be.

Bert, was yours one of the early Mark-8 machines? That's the only Intel-based machine I know of that
preceded the Altair.

BTW, many of us are still running Intel 4004 and 8008-based systems...as the controllers
in our household appliances:-)
