2600 Club: February 8th,
7-9pm at the Resource Center - THIS FRIDAY!
TBCS is proud
to host a meeting of the local 2600 Club meeting. What is a 2600
meeting? Hmmm... that's a long story in itself. This is a
meeting for more advanced computer users (or those who want to become more
advanced users).
We're hoping to attract some computer gurus to this one. If you are
interested in the inner workings of a computer, plan on joining us for
this one.

Upcoming Events:
Open House & RAK: Saturday, March
15th, at the Resource Center
We're going to try an XO
Computer SIG in April.
We have no idea if there are enough XO purchasers in this area to create a
viable SIG, but we're sure that if they are out there, they will need
some help. We'll let you know more as time approaches. The XO
computer is the one that was developed for the "One Laptop Per Child"
effort. You can find out more by visiting:
