ZX Spectrum for USA: Timex Sinclair 2068 / BASIC Type-In

The obscure Timex Sinclair 2068 is the North American version of the UK's famous Sinclair ZX Spectrum (aka Speccy) computer. We take a look at the box and a tour around the system, then attempt to type in a BASIC program with the T/S 2068's unique "one-touch" keyboard with the help of the "Timex Sinclair 2068 Beginner/Intermediate Guide" book by Fred Blechman. If we survive all that, we'll do a quick port of 10 PRINT since that's always a thing to do.
