The Phoenix Atari ST club is dedicated to helping our members use legitimately
purchased software. We, too, do not allow pirating of software. Our PHASST sponsored
bbs has a 40 meg drive with ONLY PD software. We do not allow piracy.

Our Agenda for Staurday's meeting includes:

15 minutes for PHAST Club business
Dave Thorenson gives a demo of a GEM Desktop replacement program
that he is writing. A first for the NAtion!! First time his program
has been demoed!!
Dave Thorenson gives a demo of his favorite game PowerDrome
15 minute break
15 minute Question & Answer period
Demo of Pratical Solution's Video Key for our 1040ST. Pratical Solutions
has an offer out where ST Clubs can get free Pratical Solutions products
if they are demoed for the club, and reviewed in the club newsletter. 
Another demo, time allowing, of a game.

So, we don't have time for people to sit and pirate software.
All, in all, I think that it is a good agenda.
