 Billy Garrett of Byte , who already owned a ZX80 , complimented the Timex / Sinclair 1000 's manual ( although he regretted the removal of the British original 's humour ) , the " state @-@ of @-@ the @-@ art circuitry " , and the BASIC for being " remarkably powerful " despite the small ROM size . He concluded that " the major use ... will probably be for learning about BASIC or computers in general . [ It ] has limited expansion capabilities , and the keyboard is too small and cramped for any serious work " .
