Who: Us, and hopefully you.
What: The NYC2600 meeting, Last HOPE Edition.
When: Friday, July 11, 5:00 PM ~ 8:00 PM
Where: Citigroup Center, 53rd Street and Lexington Avenue
Why: To eat food, do stuff, and make up for the fact that most of us were busy on the real meeting date.
Due to the first Fiday of the month falling on the same date as
a national holiday, most people weren’t able to make it to the meeting. This resulted in an auxiliary meeting being scheduled for
the second Friday of the month during which we shall have our normal meeting, free of the Independence Day shenanigans many of us enjoyed on the first Friday.
So, come down on Friday the 11th and enjoy the last official meeting before The Last HOPE.
See you there!

Our next NYC2600 meeting happens to fall on the Fourth of July, Independence day. That being the case, we would like to address the question of whether or not there is still a meeting taking place.
The answer is a loud, boisterous “yes!” The meeting is always on the first Friday of the month, regardless of other events it conflicts with.
We realize that many may not wish to spend the holiday at the meeting, but for those of us who will, we have decided to make a night of it. After the meeting, we shall investigate some celebration options. Current discussions with a few regulars have suggested viewing the fireworks, but once there we can investigate any options that come to us.
Whether you’re staying home, coming with us, or doing something else entirely, have a great holiday!

Please pardon any hiccups or interruptions in parts of this site while we move house to a new server.
EDIT: The move seems to be a complete success! We have found a new home with our dear friends at Hello World Web, a gracious host who even had a nice table set up with some cookies and pies for us on our first day.
Grey had the cookies. I had the pies.

Today is the anniversary of the release of the Apple ][, which debuted on June 5, 1977.
If you’re like us, and we know we are, then this baby or one of its descendants has had a major role in bringing you to where you are today.
Happy 31st birthday, old pal!

Did you know that a secret tunnel has been burrowed through the Earth over the past century joining New York City with London, England?
Did you also know that a massive telescope system has been set up at both ends of the tunnel, giving us and them perfect views of each other?
Be sure to check out the Telectroscope at Fulton Ferry Landing, near the Brooklyn Bridge. It will be operational until June 15.
