# Products in Review

The first review was to be on the Z-XLR8. The wife’s packing our bags, I gotta get QZX mailed! I tried Z-XLR8 twice and LOVE it! If you are having reliable, but slow loads/saves, it is well worth the money. The 7 minute Gazeeteer program loads/saves in 56 seconds without fail! I promise to ‘do it justice’ next month, but if some you buy it in the meantime, I will personally buy it back from you (the first first two received) if you aren’t satisfied. They provide an EPROM version that fits inside the ZX or you can do as I plan, and burn your own (from the cassette version).
