Thanks to BryanC for providing scans of these newsletters and other docs. All scanned at 300pdpi, cleaned up and converted to searchable PDF's. A5 in size and range from 2 to 22 pages long.
The Wellington Microbee Computer Club, New Zealand did not produced a newsletter every month but randomly through the year when they had enough material. The first one we have, WMCC_newsletter_84_02.pdf, was professionally produced while the rest were from photocopied issues. They slowly changed their name to Wellington Microbee Users Group. Like all Newsletters, they contain lots of tips, tricks, reviews, listings, etc. The collection is far from complete, so if anyone could help with any other missing issues, that would be great.
The WMCC_newsletter_85_02.pdf issue is wrongly numbered as 85_01 and should be 85_02. It contains listing of the programs on 9 of their tapes. They seam to contain lots of programs we dont have in our repository including a number of TRS-80 games converted to run on the Microbee, such as Time Bandit, Lunar Lander, REAR GUARD, WEERD, JUNGLE BOY & LASER BALL. Can anyone help there with any of these ?
There was also a large Wildcards 3 poster/brochure and the Getting Started brochure that updates our current copy for better quality.
So in the MbeeTech Repository in the new Public/Newsletters/Wellington_NZ folder we placed
