# Open Letter from A. F. Rodriguez

AFR SOFTWARE® – ALBERT F. RODRIGUEZ, PROPRIETOR  
1605 PENNSYLVANIA AVE. NO. 204  
MIAMI BEACH, FL 33139  
(305) 531-6464

Dear: Users & Vendors Of TIMEX-SINCLAIR  
Computers And Accessories  
July 1994

I thank you for the opportunity to address and inform you about who I am and what my company does and represents. My company’s name is [A.F.R. Software](http://localhost/company/a-f-r-software/), my name is [Albert F. Rodriguez](http://localhost/indiv/albert-rodriguez/), and I am the “Proprietor” of this company; which, is located in Miami Beach, Fl.

My field of business–as it relates to Timex-Sinclair products–is the manufacture, sale and delivery of four (4) horizontal business software programs and of one (1) computer programming tutorial program that is a game of strategy, knowledge and fun.

On the reverse side you will find descriptive literature about most of my software products. For a complete catalog of all of my hardware and software products (that I have for sale) please send me a large Manila S.A.S.E. (with $1.44 worth of postage) together with a personal check/money order in the amount of $5.00; or else, refer to the following past, present and future issues of Update Magazine which feature articles that I wrote and published in support of the products that I have for sale.

Regarding my program [ZX/TS-Calendar](http://localhost/product/zx-calendar/) please consult the July 1993 issue of Update, pages 33-38. For an article regarding a [ZX/TS-Calc](http://localhost/product/zx-calc-2/)+R.F.R.G. (an Electronic Spreadsheet & an Accounting Model) see issue October 1993 of Update, pages 7-15. See also within the January 1994 issue of Update an article about my word-processors: [ZX-TEXT](http://localhost/product/zx-text/) and [T/S-TEXT 2000](http://localhost/product/t-s-text-2000/). In the April 1994 issue of Update there appears an article about my game program: [ZX81 TIC-TAC-TOE](http://localhost/product/zx81-tic-tac-toe/). Finally, in the **upcoming October** 1994 issue of Update I will publish a Quotation regarding both hardware and software that I currently have for sale on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Please make a mental note that I am currently offerring to sell my company’s Mailing List at a rate of 5¢ per “proven” customer. The total value of this List is $13.00.

In case someone is interested in being a dealer of all of my software products, please write or call me from 9:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m., Mon.-Sat., and I will answer any questions you may have regarding this subject. My telèphone is (305) 531-6464. Wishing you “Happy Computing” and hoping you enjoy reading this current issue of Update, I remain,

Sincerely,  
Albert F. Rodriguez  
“Proprietor”
