Notice how many NEW items on the first couple pages? Not bad for a computer that has not been produced in two years! I read a most interesting view point in SMUG Bytes, Milwaukee TS Users Group, PO Box 101, Butler, WI 53007-Dave Franson writes “well” of TIMEX, this has to be one of the first NICE articles for that manufactor. I read of all the nice things that TIMEX did for us and are continuing to do so, and he also patted all TS2068 users on the head for being so smart to buy and use one. I stood in line to put my two cents in for what that nasty watch company did to us and would gladly show them the way to hell. But Dave has a good point, they souped up a Spectrum, got a million interested in computing, and started up a computer market that hasn’t quit yet. After using a ZX81, the keyboard does give my fingers exercises I would have never thought of doing. Everything TIMEX started has been improved on like gang busters. Would there be an Aerco Disc drive? or a Oliger, or Larken? Are things better or worse for what TIMEX did? In my view, they are pretty good right now and getting better!
