Report from Boston Computer Society Timex-Sinclair Celebration

We have been to Boston to the Boston Computer Society Timex-Sinclair Celebration and were thoroughly introduced to the upcoming wonders of this machine. It is a very fine color computer with wonderfully fine color – much better than most of the competition: it will be able to send signal to a color monitor, color TV or an RGB monitor (with the microdrive interface). We understand that the circuit to make it drive an RGB monitor is not really that complex. The color, clarity and definition were superb on either type of monitor. We saw games from England that were particularly nice: a nice game called The Hobbit, complete with graphics (adventure), a version of Scrabble that was out of this world – complete playing board, 10,000+ word vocabulary and able to play all four sides of the game.
