Glenside Club Meeting: Thursday October 10, 2024 @ 7:30PM Central

Spooky CoCo!

Sometimes, a CoCo is just a CoCo. And, sometimes, it seems possessed. Not only with my 6809-based units, but it seems the gremlins and ghosts inhabit all my machines at times. Glitches, failure to work, random freezing, the list goes on. Yes, most of the time the issue ends up having a reasonable answer and solution, but it takes a lot of time to find it. If you also experience CoCo ghosting, you’re not alone. I hope the only ghosts you see this Halloween are on the front porch or in your favorite film

With the larger holidays approaching, we planning our end of year activities and next year’s fest. On the former, John Mark will share some options for our Fall dinner get-together in Chi-town. I also wanted to point out we still have an open officer position (Treasurer) with nominations still open. Please let us know if you can assist the club in this important effort.

Please join us this Thursday. We will open the call a bit early at 7PM for some discussion and to help anyone with “technical difficulties”.

Glenside Club Meeting: Thursday September 12, 2024 @ 7:30PM Central

It’s CoCo-rific!

I write this having just returned from the recent Vintage Computer Festival – Midwest, held last weekend in the 50,000 sq ft Renaissance Schaumburg Exploration Room. The Color Computer (and MC-10), along with TRS-80 Models 1,3, and 4 (and 4p), were well represented. Of course, the 50K sq ft included a myriad of other platforms as well, some very common, and some completely esoteric. As usual, it was great to catch up with fellow Glenside members and enjoy each other’s company. If you stopped by my booth this past weekend, thanks for doing so.

As Vice President John Mark Mobley noted earlier, September is officer nomination month, this time for the 2024-25 officer term. As I’ve noted in the past, the positions are not overly strenuous, and we’re always looking for new leadership skills.

Please join us this Thursday. We will open the call a bit early at 7PM for some discussion and to help anyone with “technical difficulties”.
