Hi Collin - I think the Timex is a rebadged Sinclair, but not certain whether it wasn't an upgrade of the ZX80 - might have been an 81, I guess, - were they different models, I can't remember! I never owned the Osborne, it was a company computer when I actually worked for someone else....

Interesting. Someone is Oz using an Oz. I wonder how sales were down under? The LED and O1 (assuming it is a the Osborne 1) will go up. The rest, can't say. But if the Timex were the original Sinclair ZX-80/-81, absolutely yes.
