# Sinclair Fall Computer Show

Sinclair Research plans to hold computer shows to introduce its ZX81 this fall. Response to the first show, to be held in Boston, will determine later sites. No dates have been announced, but Sinclair’s Nigel Searle said that the Boston show will closely follow the Federal Communications Commission’s approval of the ZX81 (expected shortly).

Sinclair expects to have about 150 ZX81s available for hands-on demonstrations, where groups can try ZX81s and ask questions of Sinclair representatives. In addition, there will be a lecture/film presentation about computers and exhibits representing different ZX81 applications.
