# TS 1000 News

Taken from the June 1989 issue of [ZX-Appeal](http://localhost/category/periodicals/zx-appeal/) – Newsletter of the [Vancouver Sinclair Users Group](http://localhost/usergroup/vancouver-sinclair-users-group/).

### INSOMNIAC ELECTRONICS UPDATE

Gerd and I have been able to contact [Jim Horne](http://localhost/indiv/jim-horne/) and are helping Jim straighten things out. Jim was not keeping very good records for a while and has lost track of some of the orders sent to him. If anyone sent an order to Jim but has not heard back they should contact myself at the address the back cover and describe their order and the manner of remittance made. Gerd and I will try to have their money refunded or order filled. We’ll try to help but we can’t take any responsibility for any lack of performance by Jim.

Address on back cover:

[Rod Humphreys](http://localhost/indiv/rod-humphreys/)  
2006 Highview Place  
Port Moody, B.C. CANADA V3H 1N5

Editors notes: Jim Horne took over Silicon mountain computers from [Fred Nachbaur](http://localhost/indiv/fred-nachbaur/) selling mostly TS 1000 products including some fantastic hi-res software. Rod also is the ZX-Appeal which is editor of great newsletter that you may want to subscribe to.
