sparkdrummer Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 twoodland - I'm very glad you enjoy Yesterday's News. I guess it's definitely RETRO because YN is composed entirely on a TI-99/4A system. When I'm ready to put an issue to "bed", it is output via RS232 to a Compag 7800 laptop to be converted into a pdf file. Back in the day when I was president and newsletter editor for the VAST users group here in Phoenix, I challenged myself to put out a newsletter that rivaled issues that were PC based. A lot of people thought I was using a PC then - NOT! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Saw the photo of Submarine Commander in the newsletter... It reminded me I've not played it for a while. If many of you returning TI'ers don't have a copy of this program, I highly recommend it. You can get all the goodies just by clicking the three links below. It's that easy! << FR99/FG99 BIN IMAGE >> << DOWNLOAD MANUAL >> << KEYBOARD STRIP >> 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkdrummer Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 It's all good Owen. How's yours coming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I think I am giving up the ghost on 100% TI publishing. I just don't have the background, and much of it isn't intuitive. There's only one person alive still doing 100% authentic TI publishing, and I don't live near VAST to apprentice. I can still do a hybrid publishing project, but doing it 100% on the TI just isn't going to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 February 2019 Calendar FEB19.pdf I positively LOVE this months graphic on the calendar! It brings back a few memories that I had to write checks for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Did you make that using CalendarMaker99? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Did you make that using CalendarMaker99? I usually put up Sparkdrumer's calendar every single month in my den. But he inspired me this month, so not to intrude on his thread. (click here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Owen I used Calendar Maker for all calendars I made from December 2018 back. It was a cumbersome process but I made it work. Then I discovered a disk I had of PagePro templates for making monthly calendars. It was put together by a member of VAST named Ray Frantz. It was MUCH easier to do calendars with this. So the first one was January 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 @Sparkdrummer Do you take requests for dates on your calendars? I was thinking that if/when Fest West 2019 is confirmed, it would be cool to have those days included. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Yes, that could certainly be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
