Here’s 1990 – WOW only 10 more years until the year 2000, remember what home computers looked like in 1980? Try and imagine what we’ll be using 10 years from now.
January Meet is going to be in Owego, details are being worked out. I will contact all local members for location and transportation arrangments. PAH
Final chapter of Ray Byler’s Catalog of the 2068 and Spectrum ROMs, cross referenced alphabetically and by address. This was quite an undertaking on Ray’s part, and I hope there are some who can use this reference source. We have all four directories on an Oliger disc, 5.25″ DDDS, 40 Track, as Mscript files. Available for $3.00 PP care of this newsletter.
Final issue of the Harrisburg Area Timex Users Group Newsletter was received this month (Dec). I met Dave Bennett at the CapitalFEST and some of his members, so it is difficult to say Adios amigos to a great bunch of people. Basically due to a lack of member support, they decided to pull the plug.
One bit of News from them…Cambridge (Sinclair) is coming out with a 3.5 lb MSDOS laptop with 3.5″ drives and an optional 20 or 30 Meg Hard Drive. The price is said to be very reasonable. Due about mid 1990. (??WHAT sinclair going mainstream??)
With this issue, we welcome Warren Fricke of Depew, NY and his column on BASIC programming. This effort on Warren’s part could be met with some questions or comments on your part. While his programming is on the 2068, most also pertains to the 81/1000 and 1500.
