The Timex/Sinclair 1000 (the American ZX81) was my first home computer, must've been '81 or so as well. I still remember buying my T/S 2068 when all my friends were buying C64s and later realizing I had probably made a mistake. My 2068 is still in the garage, next to the BeBox. Growing up on a T/S 1000 makes me pine for a Jupiter Ace to add to my collection of "doorstops", as my wife calls them. -Jack
