Oh, what a trip down memory lane. I had the Timex 1000. Complete with the memory pack and printer. They were fun. . . fiddling to get the volume control on the tape deck volume just right to play back the recorded programs you had saved. . . after waiting fifteen to twenty minutes to learn it wasn't loud enough. LOL! Still, $199 (IIRC) for a real computer was great!
Of course I looked at the Timex Sinclair ZX81 but found it lacking.
