I had the expanded memory module, I was rolling in high cotton.Yeah, who would ever need more than 16K RAM, and 45 minutes of cassette storage?

Bought TI-994a next, complained to my dad about the woefully inadequate 16K of RAM. He started telling me how they used to run an insurance company on a mainframe with only 16K of RAM, and I should be grateful for that.

You could say the first "preamp" I ever bought was this thing called a "Z-Box", that took the program signal from the cassette recorder and sweetened it up so that the Timex could "hear" it better.....wooohooooo!
