FRESH FROM THE NET
Homesteaders,
This is to announce that United
Commodore User Groups Association,
also known as [UCUGA] (you-coo-ga), is
now accepting memberships. And we
would appreciate you forwarding this
to all Commodore users and groups you
know.
Membership in UCUGA is open to
both User Groups and individuals.
User Group membership in UCUGA is
$25 per year U.S. & Canada ($35
otherwise). Group membership gives
the Group space in the Commodore
Digest, UCUGA's monthly hardcopy
newsletter, for reporting local
activities. The Group will receive
one issue of the Commodore Digest each
month. The User Group can utilize the
Digest as their local newsletter by
copying and distributing it. Or, for
about the same cost of copying &
stamps, the Group can provide their
members with individual memberships in
UCUGA.
Individual membership in UCUGA is
$15 per year U.S. & Canada ($25
otherwise). Individual members will
directly receive monthly issues of the
Commodore Digest.
Make checks payable to:
Rolf L. Miller
Mail to: Rolf L. Miller,
492 Anacapa St,
Ventura CA 93001
And, of course, include your mailing
address -- and an e-mail address if
available.
It is not the intention of UCUGA
to create a profit. Therefore, if
publication of the Commodore Digest
ceases for any reason, a prorata
refund of dues will be made.
All memberships begin in January
and dues are payable the first of the
year. Those joining after the first
of the year can choose to receive all
issues from January or pay
proportional dues for the remainder of
the year.
Multi-year memberships are not
offered or accepted. All funds
received other than dues or excess
amounts are considered donations.
The Commodore Digest will be
published monthly by UCUGA beginning
January 2002, scheduled for mailing
the 20th of each month.
Managing Editor is Rolf Miller
<rolfmiller@aol.com>.
Senior Editor and Publisher is Dale
Sidebottom <luckykds@iglou.com).
In addition to brief reports of
local activities and information
provided by member Groups, the intent
is to present material in every issue
of the Digest which addresses the
interest base of all its readers. The
goal is to inform the broadest
possible range of users in order to
enhance all aspects of Commodore use.
To this end, the Digest is
arranging for articles from the entire
spectrum of Commodore enthusiasts. The
plan includes titles which focus on
The Leading Edge, highlighting those
endeavors that are expanding the
horizons of the 64 and 128. Also
scheduled are articles looking at the
Trailing Edge, examining the ways and
means of accomplishing what is needed
today with Commodore systems. And
there will be essays about how
Commodores are actually used, whether
it be leading edge, trailing edge, or
the broad landscape in between.

[DAVE'S AFTERNOTE:] The world of C=
needs an organization such as UCUGA.
We need some way to let the big world
know that we are not going to give up
on our favorite platform. We need a
way to convince young people that the
C-64 is [the] place to learn the inner
workings of all computing machines. We
need to get out the news that exciting
new operating systems and brand new
hardware are going where no IBM has
gone before!
