     I purchased my ADAM in the summer of 1986 at Kay-Bee toy store for $300.00.  I knew at the time that it was orphaned, but I wanted to get a computer "for the kids".  They use it of course, when they can get it away from me.  I subscribed to Family Computing magazine and to a newsletter, AUGment.  These helped me use my ADAM a little.  It wasn't until Nibbles & Bits came along that I started to use ADAM more and more.
     Lyle Marschand supplied me with a list of NIAD members in our area. I used this list to start a small user group - 463 ADAM. (All the original members were in the 463__ zip code) A mention of our group in Nibbles & Bits caused Barry Wilson of St. Louis AUG to contact me.  We have traded PD volumes and he has assisted me in running our AUG in many ways.
I will be attending ADAMCON 01 in October (it may be over when you read this) and hope to meet many of the people I have heard of and corresponded with.
