Subject: VIPACE! February VIPACE Meeting, Feb. 19, Tribute to Willie Wilson
> Dear Visually Impaired Pittsburgh Area Computer Enthusiasts (VIPACE)
> Patrons:
>
> The next VIPACE meeting is dedicated to the late Willie Wilson. On
Tuesday,
> February 19, 2002, ACB Radio Mainstream will be dedicating its Main Menu
> show to Willie Wilson, Blink Link, the discussion of the early Bulletin
> Board systems and technology in the late 80's before the days of the
> internet as we now know it...the things Willie was so well known for and
> involved with. I would like for all VIPACE members to be able to listen
in
> and participate as a group.
>
> I just spoke with Jonathan Mosen in New Zealand, the host of Main Menu,
and
> he graciously agreed to move the time of the show up to 6:30 PM Eastern
> (instead of 9:00 PM).
>
> I am working on getting a meeting place where we can listen live to the
Main
> Menu broadcast and have ability to dial in on the show and participate as
> listeners worldwide tune in to this tribute. I hope each and every one of
> you will make it out for this tribute. Remember, Willie was the one who
> founded and led VIPACE in the early years. It would be wonderful to see
> support and participation in memory of Willie and all he has done for the
> blindness community.
>
> The meeting will take place from 6:00PM until the show is over at 8:30 PM.
> The location is to be determined, and suggestions are welcomed. We need a
> place that allows us to have computer access and possibly an extra phone
> line to dial in to participate. Someone has volunteered the use of their
PC
> and setup that night, but we need at least one phone line to dial in. We
> can use my speaker cell phone to dial in to participate with comments.
> However, if anyone knows of a good meeting place with networked PC's in a
> meeting room with a phoneline in an area with good public transportation,
> please email your ideas to me at [log in to unmask] So far, we are
going
> to be looking into the Carrick Library, Southside Library, RIS, PVS, and
> Centre City Tower. Any other suggestions or feedback is appreciated.
>
> So, Tuesday the 19th from 6:00PM until 8:30PM is the time of the next
VIPACE
> meeting. Stay tuned for more details on the location.

> Check out ACB Radio Mainstream at http://www.acbradio.org/mainstream.html!
> I am carbon copying Jonathan Mosen on this message and we want to
especially
> thank him for his work on ACB Radio and for doing a dedication of one of
our
> local heroes.

> Best wishes,
