"Anyway, I just lifted the cartridge door and to my surprise found gold nuggets and a Rembrandt!"
Sounds like a very hacker friendly device (much like the coco3) regards to modding.

I don't know if it's any more hacker friendly than any other system of the time. I'd say hacking is often the mother of necessity as it were. In other words, you NEED to hack when the system either dies fast or has significant limitations, like the TS2068 did and does. Most of the hacks or add-on cartridges revolve around ZX Spectrum compatibility, something the system should have had from Timex in the first place. Of course there was also no disk drive for the thing, hence the Oliger interface (which I'll cover more in part 2 and does a few other things).
(by the way, loved your first sentence!)
