My first computer was a Timex Sinclair 1000 which was the North American version of the ZX81. I loved that computer! Following you now :)
I had a Commodore 64 and don't think I ever saw a Timex. I was reading where they decided to add a cartridge port to their version of the Spectrum and it made it incompatible with most existing games. It's no wonder they didn't do so well. They sure made for an inexpensive way to get a computer though.
good job
