# A Bird in Hand

Our favorite computers are getting harder and harder to find. TS1000’s are no longer being offered except from an occasional surplus dealer. The 2068’s can still be found, but not without some difficulty. My trusty 2068 gave up the ghost during the assembly of this issue. After calling almost every vendor in my files, I located two that had 2068’s to sell, Sunset Electronics, (415) 665-8330, in San Francisco, CA, and Brooklyn Closeout Corp., (718) 384-3519, Brooklyn, NY, have for sale factory re-conditioned units, Contact Mr. Warbuton at Sunset Electronics or Mr. Fried at Brooklyn Closeout for pricing and details,
