MaximumRD got a reaction from Justin in Eating out, it's been too long
Enjoyed Dakoda's Sports Bar & Grill, great pub food with large portions and value pricing. Friendly staff, good service, all more a rarity these days but was very satisfied.

MaximumRD reacted to RickR in I may be opening myself up to some major criticism, for simply asking, "Why?"
John, I'm going to create a new thread for your newsletter and club. I think it's great and I just started reading your first newsletter today. I hope we can help you drum up more interest.

MaximumRD reacted to John Behnke in I may be opening myself up to some major criticism, for simply asking, "Why?"
Please forgive my late response to this post as I have just recently found it.
My name is John Behnke and at one time, decades ago, I was a part of the Chicago Users Group. I was very young back then and after getting a full time job, getting married and having kids, I moved on to the world of the PC and did not look back. About a year ago I reengaged with the group and after having retired and having free time, I offered to restart our long dormant newsletter as well as redo the group web page. It saddened me that so many fine people in the community had passed or moved on but such is life.
The reason for this reply is that I wanted to add a few thoughts of mine and explain why the Chicago Group gave me permission and what my motivation was in restarting the newsletter.
First off I would like to address the comment about the early issues having nothing but web content and reprinted old articles. While this is mostly true, I had to start from somewhere and not having sources of new content available, I had to put in more "nostalgia" that I would have liked. I added articles from myself as much as I dared but tried to limit this as this was not supposed to be a "John Behnke Newsletter" nor did I want to give the impression that this was some kind of ego thing all about me.
I think you will find as the months go on, there will be more new content. I have reached out to what is left of the TI Community requesting new articles, programs and anything that might be of interest to the community. Aside from mentioning the next meeting and some discussion of the next TI Faire, we intend the content to be of interest to the entire TI community and not just a Chicago User Group publication. So far I have received a few contributions and they will be published in the April and May Editions. I hope to have more.
I would like to thank you for this post and hope you continue to read our newsletter. While it will contain more rehash than I would like, as you suggest in your post, this reborn newsletter will prosper or die depending on the TI community. Retro gaming is all the rage and I would love if the reintroduction of this newsletter, dormant for 18 years, might spark others in rekindling the fire we all once had so many years ago!
Once again thanks for your kind words and encouragement!

The April Edition is out for download at ChicagoTIUG.org
I hope it's getting better. I'll keep asking people for contributions but I have to be honest, few people seem to want to write even a short article. I'll keep trying.

I just did a livestream last night showcasing the VCS playing ATS using Debian and Steam.

Why do some of you think it's anywhere near appropriate to repeatedly post sexualized images and comments on an Atari website? Does that seem to you at all in keeping with the spirit of Atari I/O that's open to all ages? I shouldn't have to say this out loud. Can someone explain that to me because I'm no prude and I'd like to hear a public justification of your reasoning.

MaximumRD reacted to Justin in Atari re-releasing 7800 carts
I appreciate that they’re standardizing the CX78 Control Pad. It always should’ve been that way.

I wonder if Doom has been ported to it?

What's the reason for naming this "The 400" as opposed to "Atari 400" or "Atari 400 Mini"?
