Boston Computer Society's first ever DEMOLITION DERBY

Please don't think we're too politically incorrect - we just thought 
this sounded like fun.  Everyone is invited to pick up a sledgehammer 
and work out their frustrations on some old mainframes and minis.  Join 
us after work, Thursday, October 29 at the Courtyard at One Kendall 
Square.  Five minutes of guilt free aggression for $5.  Demolition will 
begin at 3:30 and go on until 6:30 or Miller time whichever comes first.

The computers will be obsolete technology that the landfills wouldn't 
take.  The proceeds will go toward the BCS Public Service Committee, the 
arm of the BCS serving the non-profit community.

The Boston Computer Society was established in 1977 and is the world's 
largest personal computer user group with over 24,000 members in 50 
countries.  It is a non-profit educational organization based in 
Cambridge and was founded on the principle of "users helping users."  
The Public Service Committee matches BCS volunteers with non-profits 
needing computer consulting  and sponsors a variety of community 
oriented events.

So come roll up your sleeves and become one with the universe.  Give a 
whack for a good cause.
