<**><**>¢ PRESIDENTS MESSAGE¢ by ALEX PIGNATO¢¢ I am very sad to report the death¢ of BOB ULSCHMID a friend and member of¢ OHAUG. This Newsltter is dedicated to¢ BOB, and our condolences go out to his¢ wife, JEAN.¢¢ By the time that you read this,¢ the OL' HACKERS will have hosted the¢ March 11th NEAR*US meeting in a¢ continuing attempt to bring together¢ ALL ATARI users, no matter what micro¢ they use, thus helping to "SPREAD THE¢ WORD". We expect representatives of¢ of LIAUG, N.Y., JACG N.J., LVAUG, PA.¢ and others. Look for a full report in¢ a forthcoming newsletter.¢¢ Our senior member BILL SMINKEY,¢ purchased and sent a working EPSON¢ printer to our ROUMANIAN member¢ OCTAVIAN GRECU, as a gift. You can¢ read more about it in the February¢ meeting minutes. BILL purchased the¢ printer from our member BEN POEHLAND.¢ BILL also paid for all shipping¢ charges with the cooperation of BEN¢ (who packaged it and went through all¢ kinds of problems at the Post Office)¢ finally managed to get it mailed AND¢ insured. We think you both deserve a¢ commendation for services above and¢ beyond, in helping in your way to¢ "SPREAD THE WORD".¢¢ Thanks to members like that we¢ will continue to flourish with our¢ "CLASSIC" 8 BITs, in spite of the¢ doomsayers. WELL DONE!¢¢ Well, we had our annual February¢ CHRISTMAS dinner at a local¢ restaurant, and again it was a¢ success. The food was excellent, and¢ members paid $12.00 each, tax and tip¢ included, for a full course meal. Soup¢ and salad to coffee and desert with a¢ choice of 6 entrees, in between. Good¢ friends, and good food always makes¢ for a perfect evening. We were happy¢ to welcome PAT MULVEY, President of¢ LONG ISLAND ATARI USERS GROUP, at the¢ dinner. It seemed to me that he was¢ having a great time chatting with the¢ OHAUG members.¢¢ FLASH--We are privileged to bring¢ you the UPGRADED "PRNTSTAR V.2.0" by¢ our own TOM ANDREWS, along with the¢ full Documentation. This program is a¢ MUST for making hard copies without¢ useing reams of paper and with full¢ formatting of the printing process! It¢ is the ULTIMATE!!!¢¢ Thats about it for now, BYE till¢ next time!¢ <<end>>¢¢
