Timex Speeds Up

Delivery of the long- awaited T/S2000 series is being moved up by Timex. Demand by dealers and the public for the new series of machines has created pressures to which Timex is trying to respond.

Originally scheduled as two machines, the T/S2048 and the T/S2072, Timex has changed this to a single machine, the T/S2068, in an attempt to increase its ability to put new computers on the store shelves faster. The T/S1000 appears to have lost public appeal and Timex is working quickly to replace it with new computers.

The increase in demand for the T/S2068 has, it appears, not changed the corporation’s decision to also produce the T/S1500, an updated version of the T/S1000. Market analysts agree that it is imperative for Timex to get onto the market with its new machine quickly if it wants to maintain its preeminence in the personal home computer field.
