My first computer was a Timex Sinclair 1000, too. That keyboard was too much, but you kept at it! And if you even looked at that memory module funny, it would short out and you'd have to stay up all night and re-key everything back in by hand. We got more use out of the TRS-80s at school, but having a machine to ourselves at home was influential.

I had a Timex/Sinclar 1000 with the 64K memory module that sort of worked half the time. Zot, there it goes again and I have to type everything in again because I didn't save it to tape.
