| 2068 Power Supply - Make It Cooler & Quieter |
I have discovered that programs SAVED to cassette tapes from the TS-2068 can have a very high Noise/Scratch background level making verification and loading a somewhat iffy proposition. The best way to determine if you have this problem is to monitor the signal on the tape aurally during loading. The background noise can be heard |

| Beginning With Quill Word Processing |
For a newcomer to word processing, Quill may seem rather complicated and confusing. However, with practice, it will be as natural as a pencil and paper to use. I am by no means an expert myselr in its use but sharing what I have learned with other new QL users will help you get over |

| Color Blind to Colorful |
I have had four color blind TS 2068’s. The first one I sent to Timex Little Rock Repair Center and was sent another 2068. I electrocuted that 2068 and sent it to TS Connections in Cincinnati. It was returned to me with a memo to give it a decent burial. I ordered a second-hand 2068 |

| Hex Versus Decimal |
One thing for sure, I am new to computing and computers are new to me. My first computer was the 2ZX-80. Next came the ZX-81 followed by a TS-1000 and now the TS-2068. Neither myself or any of my computers understand hexidecimal (hex). My computer refuses to use anything but decimal. Realizing it is not |

| Key Modifications for 2068 Users |
Recently SUM ran an article on English keyboards available for Spectrum and 2068 users. At that time detailed instructions were not included on how to adapt the keyboard cable connectors to work with the T/S 2068. This article should help with that deficiency. When installing the T/S 2068 in the various English keyboards that are |

| Solving Jumbled Word Puzzles |
A very popular syndicated newspaper feature is JUMBLE, a word puzzle involving four jumbled words which need to be unjumbled, then a master word made up of letters from the first four. My problem with this puzzle was one of frustration; I usually gave up before I finally was able to unjumble all the words. |

| Spectrum 128 Review |
The Spectrum 128 is the latest computer from Sinclair in the Spectrum family. It is housed in a Spectrum + body, but has more pluses than the Spectrum + ever dreamed of having. The particular version that we received is the Spanish one currently being sold in Spain. Sinclair is holding back the English introduction |

| Using the "Tomy Tutor" Recorder with TS-2068 |
While looking in a Video Concepts store the other day, I came across some old computer accessories they were selling off and found some “Tomy Tutor” data recorders they were dumping at $3 each. The recorders come with a power supply and have a tape counter and speaker to monitor what you SAVE or LOAD. |
