<<>>› (Ed. Every now and then I come across› something that I think is worthy of› repeating, even if, as here, I have to› type it in myself (ugh) with the hunt› and peck style. This article is from› the July 1994 issue of THE PACESETTER› from Largo, Florida. It was written by› the editor JEAN BROKAW, and I think it› relates to all of us and gives all the› reasons why you should participate in› many club activities. With EDITORS› LICENSE, I have changed the PACE name› to OL' HACKERS. I know that JEAN will› not mind. It is herewith reprinted› by OL' HACKERS AUG, with permission.›› ==================› A DOSE OF P.A.C.E.(read that as OHAUG)› by JEAN BROKAW›› Active participation in the O.H.A.U.G.› (Ed. insert the name of YOUR CLUB› here, or wherever a CLUB NAME fits› A.P.) organization is a SURE CURE for› the following ailments:›› 1. HYPNO-PROGRAM-ITIS; An insatiable› desire for more and more programs.› This is easily cured by making a copy› of EVERY disk in the OHAUG (YOUR› CLUB) library.›› 2. NON-COMMUNICATIVE-APHOBIA; The fear› of having no one with whom to discuss› computer progress and/or problems.› CURE: Club members eagerly share› expertise. Attend meetings if at all› possible. (Ed. if not possible write a› letter to the club, or an article for› the newsletter. A.P.)›› 3. ACUTE-BUDGET-ISM; A condition of› contracted purse string muscles.› Spending large sums of money (Ed. such› as buying a P.C. or their programs.› A.P.) can be extremely PAINFUL, but› there is no strain and no pain with› being in the OHAUG club (YOUR CLUB)› member with minimal yearly dues.›› 4. FELLOWSHIP-ABUNDI; Most contagious› of all, and found at every OHAUG› (YOUR CLUB) meeting, or when reading› the club newsletter. A good time is› guaranteed to all!›› 5. EXPANDING KNOWLEDGE-ITIS; The› acceptance that the world and the› youngsters are learning new pathways› to knowledge, and the REAL FEAR is› that you will be left behind. CURE is› to join a COMPUTER club, like OHAUG!›› 6. COMPUTER-PHOBIA; The fear that if› you hit the wrong key, the computer› will blow up in your face. CURE is to› sit in front of the computer and try› everything, (AFTER you FIRST make a› COPY of the program) and to find out› that the computer still works.›› 7. THE I'LLNEVERLEARNITIS;› The unhappy thought that you are more› stupid than the other CLUB members.› CURE is the realization that everyone› was just as stupid when they started.› <>››
