	Well, the response to my request for uses for a Timex/ZX computer
was (to say the least,) underwhelming.  I got exactly one response by mail
(thanks, Ray), and none posted to the net.  Anyway, his response was pretty
much like mine:

	"I use my zx-81 for collecting dust ..."

	I would guess that this topic could pertain to any home computer -
I just can't come up with a real household use for one.  Note that this
excludes home business uses, writing software for profit, designing
hardware interfaces for profit, or balancing checkbooks.  That last is the
most ridiculous reason I've ever heard for buying a home computer; I could
*never* justify the amount of time it would take to type in the necessary
information for each check I wrote, as opposed to sitting down with a $4
calculator and adding up the numbers.  How about a budget management
program?  Would that be worthwhile on the TS/ZX?

	Is anyone there?  C'mon, I know you're out there; I'm not the only
who's posted to this newsgroup.  If nobody answers, I swear I'll post the
question to net.micro!  (That'll serve you right!)
