There have been changes to the way in
which the TBI pool operates over the
last month or two. However, these
changes have not affected members.
Charges still remain the same at:
Members: 10p per disc if you supply a
formatted disc and return
postage and packing.
The new catalogue states:
"Members, please see separate
documentation before ordering."
This message is that separate
documentation!
I have had a chat with Ron Marshall of
Solinet. We have a number of members
that are in both user groups. I think
that this should be encouraged as it
can only help to extend the life of our
machines.
Solinet is a user group magazine issued
in January, March, May, July, September
and November. Members pay £4.00p per
year membership fee. They send in a
disc and return postage, just as 8BS
members do. Therefore charges are very
similar to those of 8BS (negligible).
Solinet's mag is TOTALLY different to
that of 8BS. If you are not a member,
why not drop Ron a line at:

Chris has given me the chance to
mention your 'Sister' mag on disk,
Solinet.
We have been supporting BBC Micros for
eight years now, and we issue an 80T DS
SD DFS disk every second month,
starting in January. The same disk
content is available as 40T SD DFS
(more disks!) and 640k ADFS. Solinet is
presented very simply, in mono, with an
INTRO file giving bits of information
and an INDEX file showing what's on the
disk. You are shown a list of the
directory letters we use, to aid the ID
of all the files. WW-Plus, InterWord,
View and ASCII text files are
supported.
It costs 4 pounds a year to be a Member
and each issue is then copied to your
disk, at no further cost other than a
return address label and stamps. We
have 36 back copies, right back to when
we started, (30p each on your disk)
available and also a fairly extensive
Software Library (including some
Telesoftware items, with copying
permission). The Library is run from a
different address and details are in
the Solinet Factsheet.
Membership may be started as from July
this year at a cost of 2 pounds and I
am hoping to introduce a simpler
pricing system (cheaper?) for next
year.
We have most SoliDisk (STL Southend)
manuals, roms and progs, with
permission to copy and give away freely
to Solinet Members.
Please bear in mind that we are NOT
competing with 8BS. I am on good terms
with Chris and we should be able to
help each other. We can both exist,
side by side.

I have received a list of PD software
available from The Welsh Boys. I have
edited out the discs that I know are
available from us. This still leaves 25
discs for you to have a look at. There
are some very interesting looking items
there. I notice that there are 5 discs
from Lars Osterballe for instance.
Disc and p+p is supplied. New PD
software is welcomed. Send it on any
single density format and your disc
will be returned with some free
software on it.
Order by sending a cheque/postal order/
cash for 1.50p for each item to this
