╔N OUR CONTINUAL EFFORT TO FIND NEW WAYS TO GET PEOPLE TO READ THE NEWSLETTER, WE ARE INAUGURATING THREE NEW FEATURES IN THIS ISSUE. ╨LEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THEM, AND TELL ME OF ANY OTHERS YOU THINK OF THAT YOU WOULD LIKE.
╘HE FIRST THING, AS YOU'VE PROBABLY NOTICED, IS A NEW NAME. ╫E DECIDED THAT JUST CALLING IT "THE NEWSLETTER" WAS A LITTLE DREARY. ╔ HOPE YOU LIKE IT. ╔T IS A CHILD OF MY OWN INVENTION.
╘HE SECOND OF THESE IS A LITTLE SPACE DEVOTED TO LOCAL VENDORS. ╔N IT WE WILL TELL OF ANY SPECIAL DEALS AVAILABLE TO CLUB MEMBERS. ╧UR INTENTION IS NOT TO RUN ADS FOR THEM, BUT TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT THEY WILL DO FOR YOU IF YOU BELONG TO THE CLUB. ╫E WILL MAKE DILIGENT EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT THE LIST IS ACCURATE AND COMPLETE, WITH ALL DETAILS AND FINE PRINT INCLUDED. ╨LEASE LET US KNOW IF THEY DON'T FOLLOW UP ON WHAT THEY PROMISE.
╘HE THIRD NEW THING IS ALSO ADVERTISING RELATED. ╔ WAS APPROACHED BY A MEMBER AFTER THE LAST MEETING WHO WANTED ME TO PRINT A NOTICE THAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR SOME HARDWARE. ╘HAT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA TO ME, SO WE WILL HAVE AN UNCLASSIFIED AD SECTION WHENEVER THERE IS SOMETHING TO PUT IN IT. ╘HIS IS INTENDED FOR SOFTWARE AND COMPUTER RELATED HARDWARE ONLY. ╔T IS ALSO NOT INTENDED FOR COMMERCIAL USE, SO WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR ANYONE WHO COMES UP MONTH AFTER MONTH JUST HAPPENING TO HAVE AN EXTRA COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR SALE. ┴GAIN, WE WILL KEEP THIS IN BOUNDS.
╬╧╓┴ BROADCAST A SEGMENT ON ╠╧╟╧ AND ╙EYMOUR ╨APERT. ╔T WAS VERY WELL DONE, AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE MAKERS WERE OBVIOUSLY FANS OF THEM BOTH, THEY DID SEEM TO MAKE A GENUINE ATTEMPT TO PRESENT OTHER VIEWS ON THE FUTURE AND APPLICATIONS OF COMPUTERS IN EDUCATION. ─AVID ╘INGLER HAS VIDEOTAPED IT, AND IF THERE IS SUFFICIENT INTEREST EXPRESSED, WE CAN ARRANGE A SHOWING OF IT AT A FUTURE MEETING.
