- CCP/M Meeting Notes
- September '91
-
- To start things off, we were informed that The Computer Club's
- BBS (TCC: 203 673-8752) is still down. The hard disk was lost.
-
- Tom Veile gave the Treasurer's report. He told us we have
- $377.69. The latest mailing cost $138.33. The report was accepted
- unanimously.
-
- This was the annual business and elections meeting. Nominations
- were open, the election held and the new officers "sworn in."
- Leading the Group for 1991-92 will be: Al Hathway, President,
- Steve Dresser, Program Co-ordinator, Tom Mannion, Treasurer and
- Eric Palm, Secretary. Jim Taylor and Lee Bradley will do the
- newsletter and the software library respectively.
-
- Newsletter dues were brought up. A brief history: About a year
- ago, Lee started publishing "Eight Bits And Change." The Group
- set its dues at $20 a year for a "deluxe" membership, which
- included "Eight Bits And Change" (a bi-monthly,) and "Smaller is
- Better" (SIB,) our monthly news bulletin. "Regular" membership
- included SIB and cost $10.
-
- The members voted unanimously to set the dues at $15. EB&C will
- continue as an independent publication. You may subscribe to EB&C
- for $15 per year by contacting Small Computer Support, 24 East
- Cedar Street, Newington, CT 06111.
-
- Lee announced that he and Walt Wheeler have set the weekend of
- October 18, 19 and 20 as "Zed Fest" 1991 in Albany, NY at Walt's
- place. See attached map and bulletin. Hope you can make it! This
- will be a very informal "gathering of the faithful." Ian
- Cottrell, Jay Sage, Howard Goldstein and others have already
- expressed interest in coming.
-
- The YASBEC (Yet Another Single Board Eight Bit Computer) may be
- purchased now for about $95. Lee proposed that the Group get
- together and create what he called "The YASBEC Group" to generate
- start-up funds and plan the building of a prototype YASBEC.
-
- Stephen Griswold would build the Group's YASBEC. He will be
- remimbursed. Gary Stagliano offered to donate a NEW 3.5" drive,
- Lee offered to donate $100. Al Hathway suggested a design team of
- Lee Bradley, Al Hathway, Gary Stagliano, and Stephen Griswold.
- Lee will order the board.
-
- I would like to formally welcome Dana Peterson (love them smiley
- faces!). Welcome!
-
- In attendance: Lee Bradley, Steve Dresser, Gary Stagiano, Dana
- Peterson, Stephen Griswold, Tom Veile, and Eric Palm.
-
- Late news, Al says Star-Link has raised their fees. It used to be
- $10 a month, plus $1.50 per hour, non-prime, plus 1 cent per 1K
- over the initial limit. I believe it is now $3 per hour, non-
- prime time.
-
- Members wishing to do so adjourned for beer, pizza and soda at
- George's Family Restaurant.
-
- Eric Palm, Secretary
