It should also be noted that Current Notes Publisher Robert Boardman is  
the 8-bit columnist for the magazine.  He's also the 8-bit VP for Toronto  
Atari Federation (TAF).  He's constantly egging on the 8-bit members of the   
club to come up with ideas for each months meeting.  I imagine that if people 
send articles and info to Current Notes it won't be ignored. 
 
BTW - If you haven't seen it yet, check out the list of contributors to the 
magazine.  It's on page 2.
