I am one of the orphans made by Timex when they decided to go back to their watches. I started out with a kit-built Sinclair ZX81, then got a TS2068 for graduation. I like the machine, but a lot of people look down on it. I want to talk to people about software, hardware, and such. If there are enough people maybe we can start our own newsgroup. I am looking forward to some relevant micro news for a change. Matt

You really cannot knock the ZX81. They made a real attempt to make a home computer available to those who didn't want to invest hundreds of dollars! Besides, ZX81s don't crash as much as Dec-20's :-) eliot /* The opinions expressed above are those of the author. Should they be anyone else's ... Well, that's their problem. */ -------

doorstop that included the High-Tech feeling that you just can't get
anywhere else. :-)
