> 20 END
Hello all! We hope you’ve had a calm and uneventful first month of classes.😊 To start off our emails for this semester, we would like to inform you of a few changes and updates.
Updated Hours
Our open lab hours are in the process of being updated due to the changing availability of our student researchers. We have not finalized our new open lab hours yet, but they will be available by next Monday, so stay tuned! Because we do not have finalized open lab hours, we will not be demonstrating a demo or object this week.
Movie Screenings
Continuing from last semester, we will be having monthly movie screenings. Depending on how things go, we may have a new location for our screenings; some of the lab members are working to see if we can reserve the Meteor Theatre on campus, but this is also tentative as of now. Until then, screenings will still be available at our usual location in the ATEC building.
Future Workshops
The preparations for a TRS-80 repair workshop are currently underway. We are planning on having it this semester, if all goes to plan.
Objects & Demos of the Week
We will be continuing last semester’s Object and Demo of the week sections. Every week, we will pick an object from our lab or display cases and a piece of vintage software or media running on one of our old computers to showcase in this newsletter. We hope you are looking forward to reading about some of the esoteric items in our collection.
That’s all for this week’s letter. Thank you for reading through until the end! We hope to see you soon and wish you a stress-free week.
Sincerely,
The Media Archeology Lab
The University of Texas at Dallas
