From the Desk of Bill Johnson

Sinclair Research has lowered its price to $299 on the Sinclair QL computer, see page 16 for details. For this low price you get not only the QL but also four of the most used software packages: Word Processor, Data Base, Spreadsheet and Graphics package. Within 10 minutes you can have the QL hooked-up ans working for you, you need nothing else. Many people have noticed that Sinclair does not supply a Centronics Parallel interface for the QL, the QL has two built-in RS232 ports. Since most people have Centronic printers they are concerned. We have found a source for a Centronics interface: CURRY COMPUTERS, PO Box 5607, Glendale, AZ 85312-5607 Tel.: 1-602-978-2902. They have the Kempston Centronics Interface for $29.95 plus $1.00 Shipping. The Curry’s probably have the best offering of QL items in the U. S., they have been supporting the QL for almost one year now. For people who wanted a disk drive for the QL the Curry’s also have a Kempston Disk Interface.
