- Um... no. The Timex Sinclair 1000 was a door wedge sized and shaped
- computer with a membrane keyboard and came with 2K of memory. You could
- pump it up to a whopping 16K with an add on pack and you could store
- your programs with any audio cassette recorder that had an input jack.
-
- The 128K machine that you're thinking of is a Cray in comparison.
