Even though most people seemed to agree that the premiere issue of T-S Horizons was a great first effort, we received quite a lot of constructive criticism. All of it is greatly appreciated. We want T-S Horizons to improve in quality and grow – both in distribution and number of pages – and the only way to accomplish that is to serve the needs and interests of our readers.
Some of the criticism we intend to act on. We want to provide more good program listings, and not-so-technical hardware articles, as you will see in coming issues. We also plan to improve general layout and proof-reading.
Some people are concerned about the format (newsprint, reduced page-size) of T-S Horizons, but most don’t seem to be bothered. Our motto is “Affordable Quality for the Timex Computer User.” The kind of quality we’re talking about is not paper stock, but what’s on the paper – the articles, programs, and information content.
Another concern expressed by some is one that we can’t do anything about – the competition. It is true that there are several publications based on the Timex computer, but how many are monthly, cover the range of topics we cover, have 32 pages, have the same quality (of material!), and cost only $1 per issue (by subscription)? I don’t know of any. And don’t forget. The best is yet to come.
Sincerely,
Rick Duncan
