Sinclair ZX8x

[Chris Savage]

I never owned a Timex Sinclair. Neither the ZX80 or the ZX81. Tynemouth Software has created the Tynemouth Minstrel 2 (ZX80 compatible kit) and the Tynemouth Minstrel 3 (ZX81 Compatible kit). These both fit into an original ZX81 case. I am totally getting one (or both) of these at some point.

Cool.

My first real computer (I created a "computer" that played tic-tac-toe when in my early teens (~12-13?)) was an actual Sinclair ZX-81. Since then, I have gotten (and sold  ) a real Sinclair ZX-80. and currently have a few ZX-81/TS-1000 systems. They still hold a special place in my heart - you never forget your first.

I'm somewhat jealous. I was soooo into Apple and Commodore (and to a degree, Coco), I never thought to get a Sinclair.
