" The Timex 2068 was released in 82 or 83 when the Vic20/c64 had proper
keyboards."

all "Q"s. It seems that Commodore had to
rush to get their Christmas
orders filled and they ended up cutting a few corners.
The C64 and TS 2068 were both released that Xmas season, and Timex Sinclair
lore has it that the Timex machine was initially called the TS2064, but when
Commodore announced the C64, the 2064 was changed to 2068 in order to sound
bigger and more powerful :>)
