# User Group News

In this column, we will list the regional user groups in Florida. If you have a users group here, please drop us a line so we can include your meeting times and highlights of your last meeting.

TUG: Gainesville, FL. Meets the third Wednesday of each month at 3708 Newberry Rd (State Road 26) Gainesville, FL 32607. Call Bill at (904) 373-6796 for details. Facilities are provided to bring your system and show it off.

LAST MEETING: On display was the TMK color monitor/TV combination. We compared its picture quality to a BMC green screen monitor which K-Mart was selling for $85.00. Both monitors had very clear displays with the monochrome having the edge. The color made the other more desirable though. We also had an Olivetti ink jet printer connected to a 2068 with an Aerco interface. The printer is lightning fast and very quiet. A catalog mail order service known as DAK was selling these printers off at $200 a shot. A very good deal. Richard Cravy showed off his new program called “Horace Goes Skiing”, one of three available in the Horace series.

NEXT MEETING: Our next meeting will be the 2nd anniversary of our Timex Users Group. We are all expecting to have a good time.
