Come to think of it, no one would buy a computer named the A1. Although it

I remember the first real computer (i.e. not a bunch of Hollerith cards)
I got my sweaty, teenage paws onto
was called a Research Machine 380Z . . .
. . . obviously somebody, somewhere, in the mid-70's felt that using a
'Z' was "sexy"!
However, "sexy" or not, the Research Machine 380Z was about as erotic as
a black box hooked up to a computer monitor can be!

Odd. Why would their first computer start with a Z and have the number 81?
Excuse Me! The Sinclair computer was made in Scotland, Dundee, to be precise,
and, as
a Scotsman, while privately thinking that a first computer being called "Z81"
is daft, I
would defend it to the hilt in public.

Folks
I'm sitting in the confession box, hidden from the view to the confessors.

I've been in this game since the days of the first Sinclair computer, remember
it. The ZX81.
