BCS GENERAL MEETING  --  Wednesday April 22, 1992    7:30 PM

Two hundred years ago, the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights began a
debate about the nature of free speech and related issues that has
continued to this day.  The appearence of electronic bulletin boards
has raised a whole new set of concerns about what is or what is not
protected by the First Amendment.  Most BCS members make use of private,
public, or commercial bulletin boards and should be aware of their rights
and obligations under the First Amendment.  The BCS General Meeting features
a panel of people who think a lot about these kinds of issues.  Mike Godwin
of the Cambridge-based Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) moderates the
discussion.  We hope you attend this important meeting that affects the
lives of every one of us.


Location:  New England Life Hall, 225 Clarendon Street, Boston, Massachusetts.

Directions:  Between Newbury and Boylston Streets.  Parking is available at
the Kinney garage with a discounted evening rate of $5.00 if you bring your
parking ticket and have it validated.

If you are referring to the BCS's IBM group BBS, it has been having modem
problems as of late.  The modems seem to have minds of their own and answer
whtn they feel like it.  I believe the problems were corrected.

Or, do as 200,000 others have done in the last ten years:  move to
another city which is more hospitable to drivers, bicyclists, and/or
mass-transit riders.

That'll leave more room for us New England die-hards.

I hope they'll install some lighting.  A small section of this path
has existed for some time, leading from Alewife station north to
some side streets in Arlington (which eventually take you to 
Lake Street).   After the sun goes down, this area becomes very dark,
and I always fear that I will run into a pedestrian (or another cyclist).

The Alewife-Davis bike path, built when the Red Line was extended
about seven years ago, is quite well lit.

  My girlfriend is young, no loner, has no car, and was quite single.
She has *never* owned a car and has been living in Boston for over five
years. It's just a matter of how you run your life. You could do without
a car, you'd just have to adapt, and you're not willing to do so. 
That's understandable, of course.

Maybe you're right, but I sure wonder what they're going to run

Ron,

I have a couple of contacts inside their organization, and what I am being
told is that The Monitor Channel is the only broadcasting operation affected.
Their radio and shortwave radio operations are not affected by this.  The
Boston Globe today reported that a new potential buyer for The Monitor
Channel has surfaced.  The Globe also mentioned that re-runs would be aired
on The Monitor Channel until June 15.

If TMC does go off the air, I will certainly miss it, becaused I enjoyed
their programming quite a bit.

	We're not all like that.  I have no wish to be killed or
maimed.  And bicycles on the road in Massachusetts are governed by the
same laws as cars, thus it was illegal.

	I ride my bike to work from April though the warmer days of
December, when it is raining I take the bus.  But, I do have a car, I
use it for trips, shopping, and drive it to work when it is cold or

I have a car (a truck, actually). I also have a bicycle. I use both of them,
and sometimes I walk. Occasionally, I put my canoe on top of the truck and
take it somewhere to go fishing. At such times, I very happy I'm not
car-less. Sometimes I put the bicycle in the truck and drive somewhere to
ride it -- somewhere less congested than here.

If one can get around without a car, fine -- do it, then. Some of us need or
want the things, even though we're aware of their drawbacks. The ownership
or lack of ownership of an internal-combustion-beast does not intrinsically
make one a better or worse person, anyway. Now, can we get back to
slamming the Registry and any other deserving state agencies?

This summer I will be working on my senior computer science

from my account at Harvard, but seeing as that account may be

anyone knows of a good (read: cheap) Internet site that I could
get an account on in the Boston area.  Dialup sites are fine, but
I only have a 2400 baud modem and would love to be able to go

Re: non-disclosure and sharing of tickets- it is my understanding that as
long as you pay, there's no record made to your home state. (I have no idea
what this means vis-a-vis parking tix, however.) If you don't pay, then
they send letters to your home state.

If I get a speeding ticket in, say CT (a very anti-driver state!), it is
better for my license than one in MA, provided I pay it.

Your girlfriend may be different, but in my experience, women don't need a car.
...They don't need a place of their own.
...They don't need any money.
...They don't need to have a "nice job".
...They don't need ....	(you get the picture).

I'm male. Now, you may very well associate with virutous, understanding women,
