[Coco] CoCo and Timex-Sinclair?

[Leon Howell]

My first computer was almost a second hand CoCo 2. Instead I got a Timex 
sinclair 1000 a few years later. This is a weird coincidence since I kept 
seing ads for CoCo stuff in T/S newsletters, and T/S stuff in CoCo 
newsletters. Zebra Systems (the T/S equivalent of Disto?) supported both. 
There are liks to the Glenside club's web site on the T/S web sites, and I've 
read in CoCo-123 about T-SNUG members attending GCCC meetings.

Why? What is it about CoCo and T/S that gets so many of us interested in both?

I could see the Atari & Commodore communities overlaping like this, or even 
Apple & Atari, but why CoCo & T/S? They have nothing in common...do they?

I'm not complaining. I really like my T/S-2068 with Timex disk system. I'm 
just curious.
