# Notes from the Editor

I have been reading some interesting articles in other newsletters from the Timex community. One in Particular that impressed me spoke about how good our computers really were. It made me wonder about the Timex people. If they had known how tenacious we ZX80, ZX81/1000, 1500, 2068, SPECTRUM, QL and AMSTRAD users and user groups are, I wonder if they might have changed their minds and really come out with al) of those “improvements” that they originally spoke of? If they had stuck with it, would they have come cut with as much as we have available now? I am still impressed with my 2068 and use it faithfully, but still am in the market for disk drives to save on LOAD/SAVE time. (Still no money, but I’m working on that.) If we have gone this FAR, how FAR can we really go? Interesting to think about it, isn’t it?
