Secretary’s Notepad

The SMUGFest was a success according to most of our members. Meeting people we’d only known by name but had never met before was a definite plus. Bob Swoger was very happy with it because just about everyone with a LarKen disc system for the TS2068 who saw LogiCall, his program, bought it. He knew of at least one hold-out. Documentation and up-dated software is being sent to those buyers.

There was a good selection of Spectrum software at the fest. A digitizer was shown in action and special notice was taken of it. There were many door prize drawings (mostly TS2068 tapes), with CATUG members winning quite a few, indeed.

About 300 attended the 2-day event, coming from as far as Canada, Florida and the West Coast. While EmSoft and Wood & Wind were the only vendors in evidence, Zebra shipped items for sale and in the first morning, every TS2040 and Alphacom printer was sold to one buyer! The majority of sales were made by individuals.
