A Message from Thomas B. Woods

Dear Fellow Timex Computer Owner,

The bad news that Timex has dropped out of the personal computer market comes to me as a Itremendous disappointment. I put my faith in their machines and for the last two years have worked long and hard to build a software business with a reputation that I think is one of the best in the industry.

In the current situation all of us are wondering what will happen next. There is one thing I’ll say, however. When the dust settles, I intend to still be here. I am determined to continue providing quality software for both the TSIOOO and the new TS2068.

I owe my business to you who use these two marvelous machines, and you deserve far more than to be simply dropped and forgotten. I for one, intend to keep my computer running. From me, you can expect to see an optimistic future of more programs and more applications for the Timex.

By pulling together, by communicating, and by sharing ideas and talent, I am convinced that we Timex computerists will emerge from the present chaotic state unscathed, and the computer itself will be as strong and popular as ever.

It is in this rallying spirit that I announce my latest product: PRO/FILE 2068. The original, release date was scheduled for June 1984, but with circumstances being what they are, I feel that this program released now, will demonstrate my dedication to the support of the TS2068.

The manual for PRO/FILE 2068 is not yet complete, but the program itself is finished, extensively tested, and is ready to be shipped with abbreviated operating instructions and a promise that the manual — expected to be 100 pages — will be mailed to every customer just as soon as it is printed.

Enclosed is a detailed description of PRO/FILE 2068. You’ll notice right away that this program is a significant advance over the older but still extremely popular ZX Pro/File used on the TSIOOO and 1500.

PRO/FILE 2068 is a masterpiece if I say so myself!

As always, GOOD COMPUTING!

Thomas B. Woods
