<**><**>› PRESIDENTS MESSAGE› by ALEX PIGNATO›› Be sure to read GUEST COMMENTS› by my friend DALE WOOSTER, President› of NWPAC, an 8 BIT club that is surely› one of the BEST around. OHAUG is also› one of the BEST, (well, perhaps we are› a little better, but please don't tell› DALE, I wouldn't want to hurt his› feelings.) (grin). To quote DALE, "We› constantly kid each other about which› club IS the BEST, but WE BOTH KNOW› which one IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD,› but we ain't telling! Join one or› BOTH, and make your own tough› decision." Thats right DALE, I› couldn't have said it better myself.› (See why I asked you not to tell› DALE?) (grin)› He gives you some thoughts on› keeping an 8 BIT magazine viable for› all of us. The NWPAC MAY/JUNE› newsletter also is full of usefull› info on TextPro, including info on the› new 5.1 version, and on SpartaDOS 3.2f› Ask ALAN SHARKIS to let you borrow it.› Since DALE became the President› (again), I see a gargantuan› improvement in the clubs growth and› activities. Here's a quote from their› newsletter,› "NWPAC's DOMS have become very popular› and the normal high quality of NWPAC's› library disks must be maintained. For› an example of the DOM's popularity,› all you need to do is to read the› WORLDS BEST Disk newsletter that is› put out by the OL' HACKERS CLUB in New› York."› (Ed. Capital letters put in by them,› not me, honest, this is a direct› quote! A.P.) My hats off to the NWPAC› club and its officers, specially on› their KEEN ABILITY to appreciate A TOP› quality newsletter. (grin!)
