Jupiter Ace

Made by a couple of hardware designers who left Sinclair, this is somewhere between the ZX81 and Spectrum, and is famous for being the only home micro to ship with Forth, not BASIC.

 

I love Forth, me.

 

If you're aware of the Postscript programming/page description language or PDF (Postscript's idiot, younger brother), then they're both Forth's grandchildren. Forth is the only high level language to ever leave the solar system.
