An Editorial
The Final Issue of Quantum Levels – SyncWare News came in the Jan. 1990 mail. The publishing group held the two magazines together for the longest duration of any Sinclair Timex magazine. The principles are: Fred Nachbaur, Thomas Woods, Tom Bent, Jeff Moore, and Basil Wentworth. Update salutes the publishing group of these two fine magazines for their seven years of service to Sinclair Timex Users. Update, I believe, speaks for the entire S-T user group in expressing appreciation for their individual efforts. AND, the group went out with CLASS! Every subscriber is to receive pro-rata refund of un-filled subscription.
For those who have not been subscribers to SYN or QLs let me say that there is an exceptionally good Data Base of instructional articles in the issues of these two magazines. Syncware News covers the TS-2068 and TS-1000, and Quantum Levels the Sinclair QL. If you do not have the magazine issues that pertain to your computer NOW is your LAST CHANCE to enrich your library with valuable information about your computer and its programming.
Good books deserve to be used. Because of the value and in appreciation for past service, Update Magazine devotes the next three editorial pages to a listing of the SWN and QLs issues that are available to you on a – LAST CHANCE – Never to be Repeated – offer. These two magazine volumes are CLASSICS! They may be ordered by single issue or by any number of issues. Get your missing issues before it is too late.
