Those Speccy clones, and the Speccy itself, were hugely popular in Europe.
We generally used them as doorstops over her in North America. I believe I saw a Speccy once or twice in my life over here.
I never did understand why the Speccy and the various clones were pretty much as rare as hens teeth in North America, considering how wildly popular they were overseas. They have a fanatical following to this day that comes close to rivaling the Amiga, but they were just never seen over here much.
