BB&C Newsletter
The BB&C newsletter serves as a forum for our members. Contributions on computer realted subjects from members are encouraged. If you are unsure of your literary skills, we will pleased to do gentle editing of your submission prior to publication. If you wish to join the Newsletter staff in either an editorial or administrative position, we would be pleased to hear from you. Or just come to our monthly Newsletter Editorial Review. This is a newsletter working meeting held on a Thursday evening just pror to publication of each issue. See our calendar for dates and time.
To reduce production costs it has become necessary to limit the printing and mailing of the Newsletter to six issues per year, usually every second month. HTML and PDF editions are published every month.

Published on alternate (even) months and delivered to all regular members, to Library and Archives Canada, and to local libraries and to selected computer stores.

On occasion, late breaking news, preview, or supplementart articles may be added. Articles reprinted in our print and PDF editions from sister APCUG newsletters and other sources are usually not published in this edition.
PDF Edition
