Timex Sinclair?! WOW that's going back.

I felt old thinking back to the days of Commodore and wondering wth a "syntax" error was (hey... I was young=P), but man, TS takes the cake!

For those of you who aren't familiar.

/Tips hat to my Indy elders!

Sad (or intersting) thing is that I own a sinclair - it sits not too far from the collection of Intel 4004 CPUs/chipset which are in a sealed glass case.

Age 41

first computer to use was a PDP-11 teletype with punch reader and writer. Military FADAC and FALT teletype computers at work.

Nothing like a paper tape shreading to kill your program work.

Hobby computer was a TRS-80 with a cassette player...LOL.

Wow Mark. Are you familiar with the UGC-129 teletype? We STILL have a few at work, even though theyre WAY outdated.

Yeah, we had a Sinclair at home when I was a kid. Wonder which model the first one was, the one with the blue-gray rubber buttons. We got a ZX-Spectrum later, and a QL. I loved those mean machines.
