Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Fixes and improvements to VCF website
I don't know why it produced an error, but you and the unmentioned docent clearly did not understand the purpose of that link. It was for subscribing to the VCFed email newsletter, which I used to send about once a month, to VCFed's list of several thousand subscribers around the world. That's why the link is in the website header. The entirely separate link to the Mid-Atlantic discussion list was/is only on the Mid-Atlantic group page. So what you "fixed" was to kill access to the VCFed newsletter and instead post about the MA group ON THE ENTIRE WEBSITE HEADER not only on the MA group page <insert emoji for rolling eyes>.
Evan, as always you’re there with good information. Of course, they couldn’t understand the purpose of the link because it didn’t work and when you left you did not pass any information about anything to anyone nor did you keep any records of consequence on anything. So perhaps a little understanding is called for. Thank you for letting us know what the purpose of the non working link was, that’s helpful information and something we can now deal with. While I’ve got you, in another discussion Jim Scheef asked about a Seattle Gazelle processor board that’s been missing for a couple years. Any thoughts where we should begin looking? Without any records or inventory telling us what’s where and who gave it to us, we’ve had to piece these things together slowly on our own. As I asked when you and I met back in April, Any help you can give would be great in this regard, and specifically for the processor board Jim has recently mentioned. Thanks in advance for your help with this, I hope to be able to tap the wealth of information you have as we continue to get better organized and expand. Tony

The board was part of the system Jim donated to the museum and that I restored last year. I used my own Gazelle processor to get it working. About a year or so before that (maybe 2017?) someone pulled the board to look at the jumpers for me to compare to the board I got from eBay shortly before. It never made it back to the system. http://www.classiccmp.org/cini Long Island S100 User’s Group Get Outlook<https://aka.ms/qtex0l> for iOS ________________________________ From: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic-bounces@lists.vcfed.org> on behalf of Bill Degnan via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> Sent: Monday, November 2, 2020 8:32:44 AM To: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> Cc: Bill Degnan <billdegnan@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Fixes and improvements to VCF website *pulls at collar* On Mon, Nov 2, 2020 at 7:50 AM Tony Bogan via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
