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.
|
|
|
|
My Spring Break is from now (March 6) till March 14th. I have limited

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW

The CES is open to the PUBLIC one day only--June 6th (sunday). It is held
|
|

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

--Perhaps a BOOK can be written in the future as a result of something
|
|
like this.

CLOSING COMMENTS

|
================
|

|
|
--I hope to mail out a "Contact letter" to about 20 demo groups in
|
|
EUROPE. There are currently 4 people acting as contacts. Anyone
|
|
else want to be a contact. Hopefully a demo from the group I'm in
|
|
will be released when I mail these letters out in a couple weeks.
|
|

|
--This weeks DEMOSITE quote comes from a meeting I had:
|
|
"Welcome to the world of Bureaucracy."
