Paper Newsletter
As of January 2009, IBM will no longer pay for
printing and mailing the San Jose IBM PC Club's newsletter. To continue printing
and mailing the newsletter would cost about $36 per year per member, so the PC
Club board voted to discontinue the paper newsletter as of January, 2009.
Welcome to the 21st century!!
The PC Club newsletter, "Bits and PCs," will continue to be available to club
members on the club web site (http://www.sjpc.org/newsletter.htm).
One of the advantages when you view the newsletter online is that the links are
active. You can click on one and you will go directly to the web page of
interest. The newsletters are in PDF format, so you can use the free Adobe
Reader program to view/zoom/print pages or the entire newsletter. The biggest
disadvantage is that the first and last pages won't be on blue paper. Sorry.
