David Higgenbottom was one of a few individuals who expressed interest in gaining rights to the Timex/Sinclair 2068 computer.
Higgenbottom formed Trinity Magnum, with the objective of distributing the computers under a different name (“TimeStar”) but still manufactured by Timex.
His proposal included building a network of “Little Computer Stores” across the country that would carry the computer, all peripherals, software and publications.
David passed away in 2019.
