These computers always have a surprise for you. Or at least the programs do. I thought the last QZX was all fixed up with templates so that all I had to do was add the articles. Well when it printed out the headers and footers were missing. I still have not the foggiest notion of where they went. Fortunately it was relatively easy to put them back in.
Still there were at least two errors in the issue. I would offer a prize for the first postcard listing the errors except it would be a waste of a 19 cent stamp. (An extra space before a comma in the first paragraph, “but” instead of “by”. and a lack of hyphenation created a few rather large spaces in some sentences.)
I was really pleased with the renewal rate for June. Most of the expiring subscriptions were renewed. It is interesting to note that the majority of renewals came from non amateurs.
Part of that phenomenon is, I think, due to the fact that QZX is one of the few magazines left which publishes technical information about the ZX81 series of Sinclair computers.
The only major computerfest with a strong Sinclair component will be held this year August 29 and 30 at Hara Arena in Dayton, Ohio. It will be sponsored by the Dayton Microcomputer Association. More information can be obtained from Gary M. Ganger, 812 Hedwick Street, New Carlisle, OH 45344-2619. They expect about 15000 people to attend, and many of the remaining active Sinclair vendors will be there.
I have started on a real index for QZX. If any of you have suggestions for subject headings, drop me a card.
KF5GG, George, spotted the fact that the last issue was mailed from Oregon. The reason for this unusual mailing location was that I took a trip to the northwest just after that issue came from the printer’s. Unfortunately I was not able to visit RMG Enterprises, a QZX advertiser and one of the largest suppliers of Sinclair computer material.
