In fact the Sinclair's were English. Designed by Clive Sinclair's company Sinclair Research. In England they were known as the ZX80 and the ZX81. Later came the Sinclair Spectrum. Sir.Clive went out of business after an abortive attempt to get into the electric car business with Hoover. HA! Now there's a funny story! Last I heard back in 1989 he was building a core microprocessor to emulate all other microprocessors. Timex was simply a reseller. -- Steven Ericsson Zenith - Sunnyvale, California. mailto:Steven@TheTemple.com, http://www.TheTemple.com/Steven "Never confuse wisdom with luck." Rule #44
