The new computer from Timex represents a major breakthrough, a real computer at an almost unreal price. What makes it possible are our advances in microchip technology and computer circuitry. And, as technology increases, price decreases. It happened to the calculator. It happened to the digital watch. Now Timex has made it happen to the computer.

The Timex Sinclair allows you to use your own TV as a display monitor, and your audio cassette recorder to store your programs. For $99.95 you get everything else that you need, including our step-by-step learning guide that’ll have you running programs within hours. And writing them within weeks.
