## Upcoming Meetings

## Historic Information

The Timex/Sinclair community was quite robust for its size. They continued to develop new hardware, programs, publish magazines, meet as user groups and hold events, for years. [ZXir QLive Alive](/periodical/zxir-qlive-alive/)
 started publication in the 1990s and its last issue was in the early 2000s.

With the advent of online groups, like Yahoo Groups, the community persevered to the present.

 and attended [computer fairs](/community/events/)
