# Letter

Find enclosed a check to enroll me as a member of [NESQLUG].

I am 64 years old and retired. The only experience with computer programming that I have started in 1982 with the ZX-81.

With publications such as SYNTAX and SYNC I became very familiar with it and was hooked on Sinclairs as a hobby.

The TS2068 followed, but I did not learn it as well.

I picked the QL just as it became cheap (and dwindling) but it is æy choice to use. | have never used any other computer but the Sinclair (and never will.)

My QL has a 256K Trump Card to which I added Drams to bring it up to 768K (total 896K.) I have 3.5” Dual Disk Drives. My printer is a Sears SR2000 with the Miracle parallel printer interface. My monitor is a Magnavox RGB 80 adjusted for use in F1 mode.

I recently obtained EDITOR SE, which I now use instead of QUILL, and the C68 ‘C’ Programming disks and I am attempting to learn the ‘C’ language.
