Timex announced it has enhanced the Timex Sinclair 2000 series by expanding the memory capacity, increasing the number of characters that can be displayed adding a “soft-touch” keyword data entry capability, while keeping the suggested retail price under $200. They also shared product art for the two computers.
The TRS-80 Model MC-10 Micro Color Computer, retailing for $119.95, was available in all Radio Shack retail stores. The 4K computer was more like a color T/S 1000 than a true competitor to the T/S 2000.
The computer is delivered just in time for Christmas sales.

Timex Leaves Computer Market
The announcement marks the end of Timex Computer Corporation. Some support is continued for a few months after.
I'm a big fan of the Timex/Sinclair computers: my first was the TS 1000. I love building things for my TS 2068 and sharing them with others on this site and andertone.com.
