[Coco] Glenside Club Meeting: Thursday July 10, 2025 @ 7:30PM Central

[Jim Brain (GCCC President)]

    Is it Retro-Brite time for your CoCo?

In the Midwest, at least, Summer comes with sunny days and what seems 
like copious amounts of humidity, neither of which is good for any 
computer, much less a ~40 year old CoCo. But, folks have sometimes taken 
their computer or MPI enclosure out in the Sun for a tan, sometimes 
plastered with some chemicals, sometimes now. Results vary, but some 
swear it lightens yellowed cases and brings back that new case look. I’d 
love to hear if anyone has tried it and gotten good results. I bought 
the chemicals years ago, but have never pulled the trigger.

But, even if retro-briting your CoCo is not on your Summer to do list, I 
still hope you’re enjoying the season and maybe getting in a bit of the 
hobby as well. On behalf of the club, we’re taking it easy over the 
Summer, though I do want to call out Grant Leighty, who should have our 
CoCoFEST 2026 dates locked in this week, and he negotiated some savings 
for next year’s show. Donations are coming in early, which will help 
with the 2026 show, so consider now if you have anything we can add to 
our No Minimum Bid Auction!

Please join us this Thursday. As is standard, We will open the call a 
bit early at 7PM for some discussion and to help anyone with “technical 
difficulties”.
