# QL News

We are seeing a very large increase in the number of QL sales which began last month. Word of mouth from satisfied owners is probably doing more to generate sales than a glossy ad in a nation-wide magazine, although that wouldn’t hurt.

Sinclair Research launched the Spectrum 128k in England last month, as most of you probably know by now. Sinclair’s financial position is definitely strengthening. QL sales both here and in Europe and the U.K. are starting to pick up steam.
