Several valuable suggestions for UGs came out of the Columbus meeting. Which proves the value of UGs in general and, even more so, the value of inter-group meetings. Among the suggestions were:
- Use TS computers to teach computing. This is not a new concept–many of us have preached and practiced this precept for years–but it can never be repeated often enough.

- Get local newspapers to publish features on people using TS computers in the “real world”.
- Distribute free copies of your newsletters to public libraries. (Actually, there’s no reason to limit this to public libraries. Think of universities, schools, companies.) The marginal cost of a copy is but pennies, and who knows when you’ll find a prospective new member?
