Normally club business is called to order at 2 pm and then adjourns an hour or so later. All attendees are asked to arrive early and to stay later to help set up and take down tables and chairs.

Who: Anyone who is a past, current, or future member of the AHCS is welcome to attend!

CLUB BUSINESS:

  • WELCOME TO NEW MEMBERS/ATTENDEES: Please be sure to extend a greeting to anyone at the meeting you don’t know to make them feel welcome; wearing your name badge helps 🙂
  • OTHER CLUB BUSINESS: We will discuss continuing plans for VCFSE 12.0 to be held June 20-22, 2025.
  • DUES FOR 2025: As always, we will continue to collect yearly dues from all members and potential members whom haven’t yet paid. Annual rate is $20.

PRESENTATIONS:

If any member or attendee would like to provide a brief presentation (15-20 minutes) at a future meeting about a vintage computer/subject that you are passionate about, simply let either Club President Earl Baugh or Club Secretary Mark Little know so that your presentation can be added to the agenda. A projector for PowerPoint presentations is also available; just let Earl know ahead of time so that he can bring it.

SHOW AND TELL:

Don’t forget to bring your vintage or retro computer projects so that you can utilize the technical and historical expertise our club members freely offer, as well as to show off what you have!
 
FREE TABLES:
Club members and attendees are encouraged to bring any old computer/electronic hardware or software, working or not, that they no longer want/need for placement on the Free Tables. And any items that anyone wants to offer at a reasonable price to any attendees are also welcome. We do ask that all members and attendees refrain from browsing the Free Tables while club business is being conducted.
 
Please plan to attend this important meeting. And we hope to see everyone there!

Stop by our AHCS Virtual Social every Saturday at 2:00 PM EST!

Show off your latest vintage projects and acquisitions every Saturday at 2:00pm at our weekly AHCS Virtual Social.  Share your “back in the day” stories. Or, if you are particularly passionate about a certain machine or piece of software, ask an AHCS member about presenting a 15-minute presentation at a future Social to talk about it.  Everyone who attends the Social is also encouraged to ask anyone online for help with their current or future projects.

The official and verbose Zoom invite will be posted every week on our groups.io page here; just keep checking Eric Lyons’ messages on that page to see the invite code and passcode that will allow you to log into the next Social. And if you’re not already following the AHCS groups.io page, sign up (it’s free!) to make sure that you never miss any news about the Atlanta Historical Computing Society or about our weekly Virtual Socials!

The next meeting of The Atlanta Historical Computing Society will be held this Saturday, March 14, 2020. We will meet at the usual time (1pm-5pm) and meeting place (Christ the Lord Lutheran Church in Lawrenceville, GA). All current and prospective Atlanta Historical Computing Society members are encouraged to attend.

The main topic of this month’s meeting will be to discuss and finalize details for this year’s Vintage Computer Festival SouthEast 8.0, to be held in partnership with the Southern Fried Gaming Expo in July.

In addition, club member Mauricio Vives will host a presentation: “Operating Vintage Arcade Circuit Boards,” in which he will draw from his experience collecting these boards., many of which will be showcased at the meeting. All attendees are encouraged to stick around after the business of the meeting has concluded (usually we’re done with business around 3pm) to enjoy Mauricio’s presentation.

See you this Saturday!
