# Kitchen Sync

The first thing we did when we finished building our ZX81 kits was to play with them— poking through the manual, pressing new keys to see what they did, writing little test programs to see what could be done. It did not take us long to decide that the ZX81 had some features that made it a lot of fun to have around.
