From my recent purchase of Microbee material, there was a small collection of THE BEE GONG newsletters from the Illawarra Microbee Computer Club and assumed to be a complete collection. A total of 6 issues from July 1984 to April 1987, so not a regular monthly Newsletter. They were all A4 format and ranged from 22 to 16 pages and all scanned at 600dpi before converting to searchable PDF's as usual.
Like all the newsletters from all the Microbee user groups, these are full of Whats new, Tips, Tricks, Program & Book reviews, program Listings and much much more. So worth a great read for all Microbee users and collectors. Some of the interesting posts though were -
Use Your Microbee As a Weather Station-Program
Sideways Scroll Routine
The KEY$ Function
Beenet 1 - A User's Review
Microsoft Basic File Menu
So in the Public Repository in the new Newsletters\Bee_Gong folder we placed
the_bee_gong_v1_01.pdf <-- July 84
the_bee_gong_v1_02.pdf <-- October 84
the_bee_gong_v1_03.pdf <-- April 85
the_bee_gong_v1_04.pdf <-- September 85
the_bee_gong_v2_01.pdf <-- April 86
the_bee_gong_v2_02.pdf <-- April 87
