Hello from sunny southern California

Post by Desertjoker »

I bought a Timex Sinclair 1000 in 1983. Played with is a lot. Wrote a program to calculate the cost of window shades and of course to a program to win the lottery. I kept it going for years, taking it out every now and then.

Recently I bought a ZXpand card and last week wired a video mod to clean up the display. Using Commander to organize files and display custom BMPs like the one of my cat.

After 37 years I have a computer that I'm very proud of.
