I’d like to thank all of you for your patience. Yes we’re late again and we’re sorry. But we love you all and want to make it up to you. How can we do this? Well we’ve got some very special projects for TS Horizons in the very near future. We think you’ll be pleased.
In this issue we also welcome John Bell as a regular writer. John’s column will be different from most others in that it will often feature programs and programming techniques, instead of news-type information. Jules Gesang is recovering at home nicely from his heart attack. Unfortunately, Gordon Young has been sick for several weeks, and his doctor has prescribed rest so he will be taking a hiatus from T-S Horizons for a while. He’s promised to be writing again soon, though.
It has been said that there must be a high degree of cooperation among the companies that support Timex and Sinclair products in order for them to remain successful. Just the other day I received some evidence that this cooperation exists. We got a package from our friend Eben Brown of the E. Arthur Brown Company. I noticed that the box the shipment came in seemed to have gotten a lot of use. The box had a shipping label from 21st Century Electronics in New Jersey addressed to Games To Learn By in Connecticut. Apparently Games To Learn By used it to ship something to Eben in Minnesota, who used it to ship to me. Well it just so happened the box was the perfect size for some copies of TS Horizons I needed to send to Chet Lambert in Alabama. Chet is the publisher of Computer Trader Magazine. Many would consider CTM and TS Horizons to be competitors but we and Chet have worked together to our mutual benefit on at least two occasions and may do so again in the near future. (I hope Chet’s not superstitious or he might feelcompelled to ship that box off again. This could go on for years.)
Well the deadline is approaching and I don’t have much more to say in this month’s ENTER. However, I do want to apologize to some people who might feel we’ve neglected them. We received a large number of complaints from people who failed to receive issue #11 and we really don’t know what the problem is. We’ve checked our mailing list and in almost every case a copy of that issue had been mailed to those who wrote. The problem seems to be our local post office, and we will be talking to the post master to see if delivery can be speeded up. When you add our errated schedule and postal delays it can cause some problems.
Yours Sincerely,
Rick Duncan
