Bugs and all

I have been reading recently of the launch of the ZX Spectrum computer in the Un ited States. According to va rious reports, the American version will not only be cheap er than in the UK but will be enhanced with such goodies as a three channel sound chip, games cartridge slot, auto-line number, renumber, etc. The American versions of the ZX81 and the ZX printer are also better than the ones we see here. It seems to me that in the UK we have the first pro totype rushed on to the market bugs and all— followed by weeks of waiting while things are sorted out. Then, the American market has the be nefit of a polished and en hanced machine as a result of the UK problems. Surely the enhanced machines should be available on the British mar ket. Why not. Uncle Clive, why not?
