Weird.. I remember 2K. Was it a Timex Sinclair 2000, like I had? Perhaps a
different model?

I used to like to play the tapes just to hear the funky music.

Yeah. I miss it, though. It was my very first pooter. For some stupid

Then, I gave it to my 6th grade teacher (I'm dating myself here) to
demonstrate to the class.

Jerk never gave me an A, though. :-)
