1. Z88 & ZX81 On TV today!
doidy1 · Thu, 3 Jan 2008 06:22:
I was watching the local NBC news this afternoon and they were doing a segment about the future of downloading movies online. Or something along those lines. Anyway, they were interviewing a younger guy who was maybe in his mid-thirties or so by my guesstimation, and something behind him on his shelf caught my eye.
It took me awhile to make it out but low and behold it was a Z88 and a ZX81 (or TS1000) being displayed on his shelf! He had them displayed upright so it was easy to make them out in the background. Anyone else see this?

I recieved my first Timex 2068 today! It works fine, but it does have a sound problem. There is a slight hiss coming for the internal speaker (it sounds, sort of, like air escaping from a pinhole in a balloon). I used the BASIC BEEP command to check the sound, and it does work. I'm GUESSING this isn't normal. Has anyone else run into this before? Is there any cure for this problem?

Hey, I saw that last night too, I'm in Greenville North Carolina. It was on
an NBC broadcast on channel 7 at 6:30pm.
