In the meantime,
please visit our new BBS and Live Chat Room …


New York Amateur Computer Club
BBS and Live Chat Room


Club member Brendan Kidwell has set up a Bulletin Board System (BBS) and a live chat room for the New York Amateur Computer Club.

The BBS is for discussions about everything the club might discuss in our general or special interest group meetings. Messages are arranged by topic and thread. Ask your computer questions and share your expertise and experiences here!
This is also a good place for setting up trades and selling used equipment that others might need.
This will also be used for text announcements and to help us stay in touch during the pandemic crisis.

The chat room allows us to text chat LIVE with each other as a group — whoever happens to be online in the chat room at any given moment.

BBS: https://nyacctalk.glump.net/

Chat room: https://web.libera.chat/#nyacc

Brendan will monitor and participate in both resources. If you have trouble accessing either system, please email Brendan directly at brendan@glump.net
