Comments on General Meeting - Good meeting with demos of both the BeOS and
Mandrake Linux.

Attendance at General Meeting - 18

Treasurer's Report - The Treasurer's report was approved as presented.

Disk Sales/Membership Status - A total of fourteen PC disk sets and four
8-bit disks were sold.  One PC disk set given away.  Sales total not
recorded but will be obtained at May meeting. Total membership stands at
an impressive 58.

General Discussion - The club's insurance policy was the primary topic of
discussion.  Jorn Dakin agreed to contact our insurance agents and
determine whether the policy protects board members from any liabilities
arising from a legal action against the club.  The board approved payment
of the standard premium and we will look into the need for supplemental
coverage based on Jorn's report at the May board meeting.

Geof Goodrum noted that Bob Mason is still seeking to set-up a meeting
with Erol's to discuss a club account.  For the time being, our TIAC web
and email accounts are functioning and we can count on these accounts for
several more months until we find a replacement.

Future Meetings - The May meeting will be devoted to a demo by Bob of
Microsoft's Office 2000.  Mike ten Kate suggested that Bob demo Internet
Explorer 5.0 at the same meeting since the office suite is designed to
tightly integrate with Microsoft's web browser. The June meeting is
reserved for the club's semi-annual clinic/swap meet.

Meeting adjourned
