   Update: We are getting ready to publish our first issue of the 
           Computer Locator Magazine.  It should be in the mail by
           second or third week of Feb.  For those who don't know
           yet, The UCL is a new magazine whose audience is buyers
            and sellers of used computers, parts, chips, electronics
           and appropriate surplus. Interesting huh? At this time we
           are trying out the concept of a "shareware Magazine" so
           subscriptions are "free" for now.  To make this work I will
           need your help.  If you know of anyone who should be advertising
           in our magazine please encourage them to contact us.


   New business:

           I want to do a April Fools issue.  Remember the old Byte
           and the classic Computer Language issue?  I think it would
           be fun to have in the UCL some fake ads, maybe a short article
           etc. which would poke fun a the current state of affairs in
           the computer society.  Any suggestions? Also interested in amusing
           anecdotes (computer follies) such like were posted here about a year ago.
