+hloberg Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I was over at @FarmerPotato house over the weekend picking up some hardware and we discussed the huge turnout for the Austin ATX TI-99 Festival and the possibility of forming a Central Texas Retro Computer club. The idea is we would meet in the Austin area about every other month and talk over old computers, present demos and work on and trade hardware. We won't just limit it to the TI-99 line but any of the major retro of bygone era since most of us have other systems we like (such as Atari 8-bit, CoCo, AppleII, classic Mac, etc...) including to the TI-99. Anyone interested? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift838 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 sounds like it would be a good start. Also by not limiting it to just TI'er then more retro users would show and we could all benefit from seeing what others are doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can probably count on 2 from the Hackerspace. So, we have at 4-6 people locally. (Shift838 is a bit further.) Howard, can you be in charge of setting a date and free location? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard, can you be in charge of setting a date and free location? be glad to. lets find out the areas everyone lives and that might give us a better clue where to put the meetings (and they don't have to be static. we also could move them around if need). we'll see how quickly this comes together then set a date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wierd_w Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I don't live in the central texas area (two states north of there), but if you guys want any large printed materials, I happen to own a 36" wide format printer. I don't have a terribly great selection of paper on hand, but I can offer at least bright white paper, with color images up to 600dpi @ up to 36" wide. (Black and white halftone up to 1200 dpi) The post office is just down the street from me, sending a run out wouldn't be that difficult. I would just need cost of consumables + postage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehridian Sanders Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 It would be an honor. However I am in the Central California Region, I currently have a TI (acquired today), and am looking into getting a C64 ..... SoonTM. I feel completely stupid for getting rid of my Atari 7800, but it was needed to make ends meet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
