I want to extend by configurations on the fine work you are doing. I've been writing for quite a while for a magazine that truly is helpful and covers the Color Computer.

Talk about Tandy having a "tiger by the tail!" I really don't think they knew what they had when they introduced it. Let's hope they support it like they should.

Let me make a couple of suggestions:

1. Allow sufficient margin on the left for punching holes for individuals like myself can heap copies realty filed in a three-ring binder.

2. "Encourage the development of USEFUL programs is addition to guess. You my want to indicate a need for sane in future issues.

3. Don't forget as usual issue which will include an index.

Thank you again for a very fine magazine I wish you continued Business

I'm impressed with the RAIMBOW! I purchased the Color Computer to develop educational materials for language teaching, linguistics and teaching various subjects to your children. I chose the Color Computer because it can control the tape recorder with ease and cost of the exercises I am developing require oral listening comprehension.

I tried the Apple II SUPERTAUKER, and although it not access oral data readon1y, it is not cost effective and the quality of the oral data is poor.

I'd like to see more educational applications and I also have a question. in Apple we can initialize the disc with a HELLO program an which is run an a turnkey when the machine is turned on. Can anyone help me with this for the Color disc?

I'd also like to be able to control the REWIND and REPEAT and tell the students to press PLAY on the recorder. Can anyone help?

I suggest Mr. Laser (Nov. "Letters") obtain MAGIC BOX from Spectral Associates, WA. Not only will he be able to translate model I/II BASIC tapes, but further information is in the documentation.
