My Timex Sinclair had a membrane keyboard. It was a bit bigger than a mass-market-size paperback (the kind supermarkets sell), about 10" x 6" x 2", and you plugged it into a TV set. No monitor of its own. Late '70s sounds about right. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
