This column is designated for small talk. Forum will be a channel to communicate your needs, ideas and/or specialties to other ZX/TS computerists. Do you provide a service, or do you require a special service? Let us know and we will share your notions with everyone else.
There is one catch, NO PRICES will be announced. This is a first come, first served column, subject to available room. As our advertising picks up, I expect to see this column grow. Those interested should contact the individual directly. If you have trouble, let us know. To get on this band wagon, give us some info. SAS (short and sweet). We’ll write it.

We had a list of survivors in last issue. Two magazines, which are not true survivors, but thrivers, are ZX COMPUTING, published by Argus Specialist Publications, 1 Golden Square, London, England W1R 3 AB, and YOUR COMPUTER, Quadrant House, The Quadrant, Sutton, England SM2 5 AS. ZXC is mostly games, but the current issue has a lot of good utilities. YC is a general use magazine, but the ZX material is generally excellent. They are great for 1000 owners. 2068ers will have to take some chances will machine code listings. Both of these magazines are available at some newsstands.
RADIO-ELECTRONICS has a 4 part hardware story in progress for doing something new with your Timex. If you haven’t seen it, you’ll need back issues to July. It is available at most newsstands.
