A premier benefit of membership is our POSTS newsletter, successor to a tradition of continuous publication since the second month of the organization's existence in June of 1978. That first edition was produced with editor / assembler, predating the availabilty of microcomputer word processing programs.
Posts is published eight times per year in a 16 page magazine format, and is available as both a print and electronic (pdf) document. The black and white print publication is sent by first class mail; a download link to the color pdf version is provided to members by email. Members may 'opt out' of receiving the print version by request, with a message to the group's membership chair.
Reprint Policy: Permission to reprint articles from the PATACS Posts is given to school, personal computer club, and nonprofit organization publications, provided that: (a) PATACS Inc. receives a copy of the publication; (b) credit is given to the PATACS Posts as the source; (c) the original author is given full credit; and (d) the article author has not expressly copyrighted the article. Recognition is one
means of compensating our valued contributors.
Download links of past editions of POSTS are available here three months after the newsletter's publication.
