Talk:Timex Sinclair

(NB Parts of this page derive from the TS-1000 entry; that entry is now focused on the TS-1000, and more general/overview Timex-Sinclair stuff has been moved here; this page is no longer a redirect to Timex Sinclair 1000)
[edit] Changes
Wackymacs, I left some of your changes (the logo was a good addition), and I noticed you fixed my link to Sinclair Research Ltd.
However, I believe that replacing
- in an effort to gain an entry into the rapidly-growing early-1980s home computer market in the United States.
with
- in an effort to market the Sinclair Spectrum computers in the 1980s in the United States
was misleading, if not wrong (the first computers sold were not Spectrums, the "Spectrum" was not sold in anything like its UK form in the US, and since the Spectrum only came out around the same time as TS's first computers I don't think you can necessarily assume that this was the purpose of the venture). Not all the computers they sold were exactly the same as Sinclair's either; I think that what was there already makes this clear enough.
Also, it obscures the fact that Timex's motivation was to "get a slice of the pie" that was the fast-growing US computer market.
Anyway, thank you for your logo, and I have fixed and added to the links that were originally there. Cheers!

- Sounds OK to me, I must agree that my rewording of the sentence was actually incorrect. I forgot that the first were not spectrums. D'oh — Wackymacs 16:21, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
