# Timex Sinclair Online User Group

![Image](http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/tsoug-group-shot-1024x585.png)A few of the usual suspects.

This informal group has twice a month meetings online (via Zoom). Like in-person user group meetings, we have guests, talk about our projects and a wide array of computing topics.

This group has its origins in the [Yahoo TS 2068 Group](https://archive.org/details/ygts2068im), which migrated to [groups.io](https://groups.io/g/TS2068/) when Yahoo Groups shut down.

## Join Our Email List

Sign up for a email list. We’re usually on topic and there are lots of other smart and fun folks. Even though it’s named for the 2068, we cover all the Timex/Sinclair computers and even the QL and Z88.

[Sign up](https://groups.io/g/TS2068)

### List Archive

The community’s ongoing projects, reference knowledge, and preservation efforts: hardware builds, software tools, and the work of keeping this little corner of computing history alive.

[Browse the Archive](https://timex-sinclair-projects.github.io/ts2068-list-archive/)

### Community Projects

Nearly 25 years of community conversation, from the original Yahoo Group’s first post in 2001 through today’s groups.io list, has been gathered into one place: >13K messages across >2K threads.

## Join Our Zoom Meetings
