Another badly researched article. Couldn't trust it as far as you could kick it.
Quote: "In 1977, the same year Sinclair released the $100 Timex Sinclair 1000, Apple released the Apple II"
If the Timex Sinclair was a re-marketing in the US of the ZX81 (released in 1981) How did they get it to go back in time to 1977 ?
1981-1984 were the 8 Bit boom years..
iPhone would probably be the most popular computer sold yeah?
