We met for our regular meet on April 17 at the Chase/1st City Bank, and the hardware group meet on April 27, 1pm at the Vestal Public Library. Due to the late newsletter the attendance was light at the regular meeting and the turnout at the hardware meet was too few to justify tying up a meeting room at the library. Those who have been turning up for the hard/software meets will probably continue but at member’s homes.
NOTE our next meeting locations
MAY 15:Microage Computers -downstairs meeting room-
106 Washington Ave,(next to theater),Endicott,NY
JUNE TO DECEMBER MEETS:
Vestal Public Library -TV room- 7pm 3RD Wednesdays
Gary Ennis got the meet off with apologies for the late newsletter and the annoucement of his new job with COMPUTER DOME at the Oakdale Mall. The May meeting will feature Ray Payne of KNIGHTED COMPUTERS from Fulton, NY, to demo the A&J Micro drives
Wes Brzozowski commented on TIMEX-Portugal has the “Silver Avenger” a 2068 like/Spectrum mixed breed- maybe the best of two worlds! He had a copy of “Your Spectrum”, looks very good-you can charge it on Visa or MasterCharge or American Express-25 pounds : write to:
Your Spectrum Subs, 14 Rathbone Pl, London, W1P 1DE
lotsa good programs, worth the money!
Dave Schoenwetter and Clyde Tackley brought in their modems, computers and set up with the telephone for “live” demos of telecommunications with local BBS. A run thru on Dow Jones and Dave’s program to keep from printing out page after page of carriage returns. It was a good demo and we all appreciated it. Thanks Clyde and Dave.
Welcome to new members: Ian Robertson, Islington, Ontario and Lester Oliver, Johnstown PA.
The Computer Shopper offer is still available-but this is the last time we’ll mention it in this column-deadline is July 1. The deal is great, 6 months for $5. Send us a check made out to Computer Shopper and we’ll pass it on. Regular subscription rate is $15 a year and worth it. There is a TIMEX/Sinclair column in it and a gold mine of bargins.
SUM also has a user defined graphics article for the TS1000 [illegible]achine, very interesting issue- if you are headed for Florida, several WILSON department store have the TS2068 for sale for $69 and some in package deals-but they don’t ship! Headed for Tampa, Tallahasee, Jacksonville or Orlando ??
Triangle Sinclair Users’ Group, Nov/Dec 84 issue just arrived!! They must be the only UG who needs a pop rivet to hold together their newsletter!! Thick and rich with info, good job all. I like the REAL PROGRAMMERS /dont drink light beer/ it has the potential for a TV series- so all the users can see “REAL Programmers”, lota stuff in this issue- if you want the newsletter write Doug Dewey 206 James St. Carrboro, NC. 27510 and send $10 in check for 12 issues.
That’s a wrap folks. See you at the next meet. Oh, I almost forgot to mention, last month I said my dear Dad never had nothin but a slide rule and a pencil, that was hardly mentioned [illegible]n the newsletter, when I get a computer printout from him, a 256K, 2 DD, monochrome, IBM PC, printer et all and Mom hasn’t seen him since…my wife says that sounds like it runs in the family.
