| More Timex Sinclair | My list of New Years resolutions looks like the confessions of a choir boy. Quit smoking (in front of anyone who has read this list). Be a kinder, more sensitive and forgiving human being (is there software for that??), and limit my software purchases to only those that I can cover with my thumb while | Sinclair ZX Spectrum |
| More Timex Sinclair | Time to crank up this old bucket of bytes for another fascinating month, as my fingers gingerly dance across the chicklet keys of my trusty 2068. You’ll be interested to know, upon reviewing your mail over the past six months, here are some interesting results. 99% of you had very kind words (thank you)!

| More Timex Sinclair | Twas the Night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a Sinclair was blinking, not even a “mouse.” The stockings were hung by the PC with care, in hopes of an upgrade-some hard or software. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of QLs danced in their heads. And mamma | Timex/Sinclair 1000, Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| More Timex Sinclair | The mailman made his final approach to my front porch laden down with this months software and hardware packages, flashing his famous, “I really need this” smile generally found on all night restaurant hostesses. As he dropped the second of two particularly large boxes, he lit up a cigarette, leaned against the porch and said, | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| New Lamps for Old! | After a few modifications, you can run most ZX81 BASIC programs on our IBM PC or clone. This article will discuss one setup of hardware, software, and “sweatware,” which will do the job. To begin with, of course, your program must be written only in BASIC. Machine code subroutines, e.g., those buried in REMs, will | Timex/Sinclair 1000, Timex/Sinclair 2068 |

| Sinclair Survival Column | Hard to believe, but this month marks the beginning of our fourth year together here in Computer Shopper. Back in June 1984 when we were just getting used to the fact that Timex had withdrawn from the home computer retail market, this column first appeared on these pages. A lot has happened to this line | Sinclair QL, Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| Sinclair Survival Column | Continuing on our recent theme of telecommunications for the Sinclair computers (necessary for you to join us in C*SIX, the Computer Shopper Information Exchange, on DELPHI), this month we take a look at another new terminal program for the QL. Q_Link is published by Meta Media Productions (726 West 17th; Vancouver, BC V5Z IT9; CANADA) | Sinclair QL |
| Sinclair Survival Column | As we end our third year of this column, we go back to our roots and have a look at some news concerning the ZX-81 (T/S 1000) computer, the place where many of us started. While most of the market is concerning itself with either the T/S 2068 or the QL, there still is one | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
| Sinclair Survival Column | When the QL first appeared, Sinclair Research promised to support it with some sophisticated software in keeping with its intended position as a business computer. In addition to the suite of four programs which came (and still come) with the QL, Sinclair initially licensed a number of packages to be published under the Sinclair label. | Sinclair QL |
| Sinclair Survival Column | Last month we had a look at a few programs from Novelsoft of Toronto, Canada. As promised, this month we examine their remaining offerings for the T/S 2068 (and Spectrum) computer. One program which I have heard quite a bit about from many of you readers is Timachine, a BASIC compiler for the T/S 2068 | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| Sinclair Survival Column | Well, here we go again. This is our fourth annual year end wrap up. Although there is no major company support for the Sinclair Computers, they are still viable computers with their own network of small companies and individual developers who still are coming up with new products for our favorite computers. Not least of | Timex/Sinclair 1000, Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| Sinclair's Latest - A Notepad Sized PC | Cambridge Computer Ltd. announced its new Z88 at COMDEX. The new laptop computer features an end-user price of approximately $400, dimensions of 11½” x 84″ x 7/8″ and built-in user-friendly software. Utilizing a Z80 processor with a unique operating system called OZ, the Z88 addresses up to 4 Mbytes of memory. Approximately 20K of RAM | Cambridge Z88 |
| Some Short Projects for Your Timex Sinclair Computers | Not too long ago, (give or take a few years), I came home to a strange sight. Piled before the desk I used as my computer station was a foot deep mound of thermal printer paper. On the desk, my TS2040 printer was happily “Whiirrr- CHUCKing” to itself. It was trying in vain to spew | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |

| Timex Sinclair Survival Column | As Sinclair owners, we start 1985 in quite a different position than we were in at the beginning of 1984. At that time, Timex had just made the T/S 2068 available, and was promising to support it to the hilt. We were all looking forward to Timex’s modem, 80 column printer, solid state software, and, | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| Timex-Sinclair Survival Column | It has been a while since we looked at games for the Timex/Sinclair computers. Since games are almost a universal pastime among computer owners, this month we will look at a few games available for your computer. Arcade games are the oldest form of games available for the micro-computer. The T/S 1000/1500 leaves a lot | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| Timex-Sinclair Survival Column | What is it about computers in general, and Sinclair computers in particular, that draws many of us so strongly to sit in front of a TV or monitor screen for hours at a time? The answer to that would have to be as varied as the people who own them, and it is in that | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| Timex-Sinclair Survival Column | As readers of this column are aware, Computer Shopper has long been one of the biggest supporters of the Sinclair computer community. This section in the magazine is just one of the ways in which we have assisted, now there is another. Delphi is an on-line service available to the computing public by modem and, | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
