# From the news desk: Born-again Timex

“The Timex/Sinclair computer is about to be born again,” says David Higgenbach, who is trying to negotiate distribution rights to the Timex/Sinclair line of inexpensive home computers, which Timex no longer markets. Higgenbach says he would market the computers under the name Timestar through his company Trinity Magnum. Timex officials confirmed they are at least open to the idea. “If we had not been interested, we would not be talking to him,” said Doug Smith, manager of product planning at Timex.
