# New Improved ROM Bugs — TS1500 Bug #1

Here we go again. No sooner has Timex introduced their TS1500, with the new improved ROM that corrects the mistakes of the TS1000 ROM, than new bugs appear. It is a common occurance in computer programming that fixing one bug causes another. Unfortunately, when you put the programs on a ROM, there’s not much to do about it. This bug will affect people who use the area above RAMTOP to save data between LOADs.
