- Homesteaders,
-
- This is to announce that United
- Commodore User Groups Association,
- also known as [UCUGA] (you-coo-ga), is
- now accepting memberships. And we
- would appreciate you forwarding this
- to all Commodore users and groups you
- know.
-
- Membership in UCUGA is open to
- both User Groups and individuals.
-
- User Group membership in UCUGA is
- $25 per year U.S. & Canada ($35
- otherwise). Group membership gives
- the Group space in the Commodore
- Digest, UCUGA's monthly hardcopy
- newsletter, for reporting local
- activities. The Group will receive
- one issue of the Commodore Digest each
- month. The User Group can utilize the
- Digest as their local newsletter by
- copying and distributing it. Or, for
- about the same cost of copying &
- stamps, the Group can provide their
- members with individual memberships in
- UCUGA.
-
- Individual membership in UCUGA is
- $15 per year U.S. & Canada ($25
- otherwise). Individual members will
- directly receive monthly issues of the
- Commodore Digest.
-
- Make checks payable to:
-
- Rolf L. Miller

- Mail to: Rolf L. Miller,
- 492 Anacapa St,
- Ventura CA 93001
-
- And, of course, include your mailing
- address -- and an e-mail address if
- available.
-
- It is not the intention of UCUGA
- to create a profit. Therefore, if
- publication of the Commodore Digest
- ceases for any reason, a prorata
- refund of dues will be made.
-
- All memberships begin in January
- and dues are payable the first of the
- year. Those joining after the first
- of the year can choose to receive all
- issues from January or pay
- proportional dues for the remainder of
- the year.
-
- Multi-year memberships are not
- offered or accepted. All funds
- received other than dues or excess
- amounts are considered donations.
-
- The Commodore Digest will be
- published monthly by UCUGA beginning
- January 2002, scheduled for mailing
- the 20th of each month.
-
- Managing Editor is Rolf Miller
- <rolfmiller@aol.com>.
-
- Senior Editor and Publisher is Dale
- Sidebottom <luckykds@iglou.com).
-
- In addition to brief reports of
- local activities and information
- provided by member Groups, the intent
- is to present material in every issue
- of the Digest which addresses the
- interest base of all its readers. The
- goal is to inform the broadest
- possible range of users in order to
- enhance all aspects of Commodore use.
-
- To this end, the Digest is
- arranging for articles from the entire
- spectrum of Commodore enthusiasts. The
- plan includes titles which focus on
- The Leading Edge, highlighting those
- endeavors that are expanding the
- horizons of the 64 and 128. Also
- scheduled are articles looking at the
- Trailing Edge, examining the ways and
- means of accomplishing what is needed
- today with Commodore systems. And
- there will be essays about how
- Commodores are actually used, whether
- it be leading edge, trailing edge, or
- the broad landscape in between.

- [DAVE'S AFTERNOTE:] The world of C=
- needs an organization such as UCUGA.
- We need some way to let the big world
- know that we are not going to give up
- on our favorite platform. We need a
- way to convince young people that the
- C-64 is [the] place to learn the inner
- workings of all computing machines. We
- need to get out the news that exciting
- new operating systems and brand new
- hardware are going where no IBM has
- gone before!
