I thought they were 16K Timex/Sinclair ZX81's?

Ah yes, Sinclair. I remember working with a Sinclair Scientific
calculator - it reported the sine of 90 degrees as being 0.0000002315 or
something like that.

Both Amtrak and the USPS are corportations, not government agencies.

I believe Amtrak is a for-profit organization that is subsidized
(heavily) by various levels of government (Fed, State, & Local).

As for the USPS, I believe it is a public, non-profit corporation that
is also subsidized/funded by the US Government.

As if Orville was wrong.

Isn't Amtrak owned by the Federal Government? The Post Office?

I never could get that 16K expansion pack to connect properly. I'd whack the
enter 'key' and erase everything.

That membrane keyboard would leave your fingertips in pain after
prolonged uses. The first thing I did was wire a standard QUERTY
keyboard to my Sinclair ZX80* clone MicroAce**.

ZX81 kits are still available:

Didn't you love it when you spent 30min loading a 16k "flight
simulator", but sneezed at 29min and had to do it all over again?

Hit a nerve, eh? I think you missed some irony here
