# Timex Sinclair Online User Group Meeting April 3, 2023

[Bob Fischer](http://localhost/indiv/robert-fischer/), a former middle and high school band instructor, joined us to talk about a grade book program for the TS1000 he wrote and sold and using [Pro/File 2068](http://localhost/product/pro-file-2068-2/) and the [Extensions](http://localhost/computers/timex-sinclair-2068/) newsletter he published for to support Pro/File.

[Adam Trionfo](http://localhost/indiv/adam-trionfo/) gave an update on typing [Starblasters](http://localhost/article/starblasters/) by [Dan Tandberg](http://localhost/indiv/dan-tandberg/). He explained how [Carl Miles](http://localhost/indiv/carl-miles/) helped him understand TS 1000 keywords.

Carl gave an update on some composite video output converters for the TS1000 he purchased and assembled.

Newcomer [Mike Druckenmiller, Sr.](http://localhost/indiv/mike-druckenmiller/), told us about how he got into the Timex computers back in the 80s and how he’s returning to them for new adventures.

[Joe Vandezande](http://localhost/indiv/joe-vandezande/) showed us his [Byte-Back](http://localhost/company/byte-back-co/) [BB-1 Control Module](http://localhost/product/control-module/).

[Tim Swenson](http://localhost/indiv/tim-swenson/) talked about learning to program when he first got his ZX81 and there weren’t a lot of magazines or books available.

[Cláudio Da Silveira Pinheiro](http://localhost/indiv/claudio-da-silveira-pinheiro/) joined us from Brazil and showed his Mikrodigital ZX Spectrum clone along with some other computers.
