Meeting Notes – July

This was quite a surprise meeting. I was not positive who was going to show up so I requested that our president, Chuck Dawson, and myself start making phone calls to make certain that some of the members were going to be there and not playing hookey. As it turned out, this was the meeting that the Dallas group came over to visit. We had quite a few members of our own show up as well. I would like to say that we had a great deal to talk over, and we-did, but I guess that I took the star’s role in the meeting. Most of this you already know about from the comments that I had in the last newsletter about the meeting with Jerry and Til Chamkis at AERCO. I spoke at length about the meeting, showed what I had been given, answered questions, and generally had a great time. The Dallas members were quite interested, especially Glynn Harris, their current president. He, too, has the Aerco system and was not certain about going for the EPROM update. After checking over many of the printouts that I was showing, hearing the comments on the help that was available, he has decided that the AERCO system with RP/M was a good idea. We may even get together and work a few other things out about the system, as in using the extra 64K or my 256K RAM as a RAM-DISK for the system operated from the RP/M mode. That would make it even more valuable.
