1/ Thanks to all who participated in my little quiz on an old, obscure little personal computer. I’m cutting it off early because I got hundreds of guesses, some of them right (not counting copy-and-paste jobs from @Wikipedia) and many oh-so-close. Answers below in this thread. — PolitiTweet.org

Weekend tech quiz. Who can identify this, the year it came out, and the amount of RAM and storage it shipped with?… https://t.co/5c72f3zf7p

2/ This is a Timex Sinclair 1000. (Photo with label restored is below). It launched in 1982 with 2K of RAM. It had no storage (and no display). For storage, it used an audio cassette recorder. Display was a monochrome TV. Both bought separately. (Sources: my memory & @Wikipedia.) https://t.co/3kTvTBxfCz — PolitiTweet.org
