I recently watched the excellent film Micro Men, about Sir Clive Sinclair, Sinclair Research, Acorn Computers, and the fight for the British low-end computer home computer market in the early 1980s. This, along with a healthy (unhealthy?) dose of procrastination, lead me to spend a few hours browsing eBay, looking for old PCs. “Timex Sinclair 1000 Retro Home Computer, New In Box”. I checked the price - $29.99 plus shipping. It has been one of the most interesting purchases of my life.
