Remember the PANIC demo by the Future Crew? Well, it had a VOTING form
|

|
|
with it which FC hopes you fill out if you want to see their DEMO magazine.
|
||
|
|
They need about 90 or so more VOTING forms filled out before they consider

|
|
releasing the DEMO-disk magazine. So, VOTE and send your VOTES to:

SPRING BREAK
|
||
|
|
\\\\\\\\\\\\\
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I invite anyone who will be visiting Florida for vacation (Spring Break/
|
||
|
|
whatever) to drop by. I live in Gainesville which is located in the NORTH
|
||
|
|
Central location of the state. A major highway runs 5 miles from the
|
||
|
|
campus.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW
|

|
-------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The CES is open to the PUBLIC one day only--June 6th (Sunday).
|
||
|
|
I do plan on going to the CES, held in CHICAGO,IL.
|
||
|
|
But lodging if of my main concern. Does anyone live in CHICAGO?
|
||

|
|
TRAVEL
|
||
|
|
------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I can fly just about anywhere for a minimal fee. Most likely vists this
|
||
|
|
summer shall be: Youngstown OH, Chicago IL, Seattle WA, and Northern CA.
|
||
|
|
If anyone lives in any of those places or anywhere else for that matter and
|
||
|
|
provides me transportation and lodging I will probably visit.
|
||
|
|
I am willing to TRAVEL--anywhere.
|
||
|
|
BUT, my main concern this summer shall be a JOB (Electrical Engineering) so
|
||
|
|
my reason for traveling to many of the places I shall will be due to trying
|
||
|
|
to secure an EE job. Anyone got any EE job tips for me?

DEMO COURSE
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A user proposed to setup a course on programming demo's. Item's
|
||
|
|
could be explained like basic graphics programming in assembler, making
|
||
|
|
simple scrolls, colour cycling, simple vector graphics, making your own
|
||
|
|
fonts, recommended literature, standard assembler procedures for
|
||
|
|
playing music files (mod, voc, 669).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're interested he's willing to try to set this up. But first he would
|
||
|
|
like to know how many people are interested and if the demogroups are
|
||
|
|
willing to supply him with information and assembler procedures.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are interested in such a course or if you and your DEMOGROUP
|
||
|
|
are willing cooperate please send a mail to GBRINK@NKI.NL

We will be releasing our demo sometime REAL soon. A Project date was
|
||
|
|
this coming friday the 26th. However, a more realistic date is April 1st.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I will be mailing about 20 disks out and they will contain our demo and
|
||
|
|
a CONTACT LETTER. If your group has a demo it can release at this time
|
||
|
|
let me know because there will most likey be free disk space.

CLOSING COMMENTS

================

|
--Has anyone noticed? ftp.uwp.edu is about 10-1000 times faster.
|
||
|
|
I as well as many other people am happy to hear this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--Gopher? ftp.uwp.edu can be ACCESSED world wide via the GOPHER system
|
||
|
|
which many universities have on their LIBRARY computers. Of course
|
||
|
|
getting the files via gopher did not look possible. Welp, just another
|
||
|
|
one of those "look, don't touch" things.
