=== Technical Meeting:  Thursday March 10th ===
Dennis DeLorme will present on a paper tape reader.<br>
"Want to move those 100's of bytes of data you put on paper tape back in
your misspent youth to 21st century media? (Any time spent with paper
tape was misspent.) Bring your paper tape and a flash drive to the K-LUG
tape fest On March 10. I will briefly describe the set up and then will
be ready to do transfers. I can transfer data as hex, binary, or binary
with the parity bit ignored. For 7 bit character data binary with parity
bit ignored is probably the preferred method."


Also:<br>
-PCIG final nominations and elections<br>
-Girl Scout cookies and possibly pi/pie<br>
-Jon T will bring his hacked pandigital Android ereader for a show and tell afterwards (no demo, just to show off)
