If your family is computer shy but they would like to use Tasword II, the template shown below will make their experience using the computer much more pleasant. The templates that I use were made for the Spectrum, but fit the 2068 with little alteration.

You can purchase ten blank cardboard templates from SPEEDYSOFT (formerly Software Supermarket), 87 Howard’s Lane, London SW15 6NU, England. Visa/Access orders can call 01-789 8546 and order. The price comes to around $5 including shipping.

To alter the templates for the 2068, all you have to do is cut out a slot for the enter key, right caps shift key, space bar, and ROM Switch (if you have one). To label the template, I found a black ink fine line marker worked the best. Now I don’t have to keep going to the help menu when I forget a command!
