( „Zu Spät“ ) ‘ Too Late ‘ Official PC-1600 Userclub Germany.
The club was founded in June 1990 by Gernot Hermenau. The reason for this was to give individual users the opportunity to get to know their computer better with the help of tips and tricks, programmes, peeks and pokes and other information in order to work with it more professionally. The club had plenty of KNOW HOW in the form of technical literature, circuit diagrams and programmes at its disposal. Problems of any kind were simply asked for. They were able to provide further assistance.
However, club activities slowly came to an end from mid-1994. Partly because Sharp ceased production and sales from mid-1992, but also because ever faster and more flexible lap and palmtops came onto the market.
During this time, three club magazines were published with all sorts of well-written and funny dialogues, tips and tricks about hardware and software. An excerpt from ‘Zu Spät’ with an article about the ‘POCKET COMPUTER’ from the Fischel company in Berlin, which published a monthly magazine at the time, can be viewed here.
At the end of the club activities, around 10 MB of software from all areas was collected, which I am publishing here on this homepage for download.
