Special Notice

At the round-table discussion during the NW Mini-Fair it was suggested that the Timex community form national BBS/Electronic means communication. The “draft” following is of the announcement prepared for Ed Grey (it was posted on RMG’S BBS where Ed obtained copy).

To all dedicated Timex/Sinclair users

For Immediate Release

As our user base seems to dwindling, we may have reached a stasis. How can we continue to survive? Where can we turn for support and sustenance? Who will come to our aid as we strive to survive?

Even if you feel that your local user base is dying, nation-wide we are still STRONG! Now is the time to act. Various efforts have and are being made to form a Sinclair/Timex Northamerican Users Group (SNUG). They need your support. But this will take time and major finances to get off the ground. What can we do NOW?

It was suggested at the recent Mini-Fair in Portland to create an electronic network to help in uniting T/S users nation-wide. The tools already exist, our computers, modems, BBS’s, local users groups, and motivated individuals. The goal is simple, provide a TIMELY means of communicating and organizing our efforts across the nation.

Ed Grey, of Ed Grey Enterprises, has offered to help launch the needed National Electronic-Network for Timex/Sinclair (NET). But he will need all of our help. The plan calls for local users to post articles, announcements, open letters, etc. on their local T/S BBS. These postings will be gathered once a month and compiled into a national newsletter to be uploaded to all T/S BBS’s. This newsletter can then be downloaded by local users groups and included in their regular newsletter for distribution. Our goal is to be in contact with all BBS’s within reach of PC-Pursuit. This will provide a timely means of communicating with all T/S users nation-wide, at the lowest possible expense. There is even the possibility of distributing software through such a network.

Through the NET we can unite all of our users and forge ahead with unified voice and vision.

It is not our intention to usurp the goals of SNUG, but to enhance its growth, and help provide an inexpensive means of national communication.

If you support or would 11ke to participate in the creation of NET please contact Ed Grey on the Grey Matter BBS (213) 971-6260 or by mail at P.O. Box 2186, Inglewood, 90305. Please let us know that can count on your support. We your feedback! CA we need
