# Highlights of the Last Meeting

Sue Mahoney opened the meeting with an update on the status of the new Timex computers. She said the TS-1500 and the TS-2000 series would be shipped to the distributors in August.

The TS-1500 is an upgraded version of the TS-1000. It has movable keys and 16K of built-in RAM memory.

Sue said she has seen an engineering model of the TS-2000, now called the TS-2068. This computer will have 48K of RAM, color, sound, a monitor (as well as television) interface, and a lot more.

The computer will allow a 64 character display using a monitor. Plans for a 16 K model, called the TS-2048, have been shelved.

Sue’s hoping to be able to show production units at the July meeting.

Finally, Timex is currently not writing new software for the TS-1000 and TS-1500. Sue said most of the software efforts are aimed at the TS-2068. However, Timex is marketing second party TS-1000 software, and it currently has over eighty titles.
