 We prefer http://www.midatlanticretro.org. 
OK, sorry, I'll start referencing that URL.

greater Atlanta / southeast US region. A few of us had our first meeting in a restaurant
yesterday, so I think that is a good start.  
 David, you're probably sick of hearing me repeat this, but I strongly 
 suggest that you follow MARCH's lead and put something about Atlanta or 
 at least "Southeast" in your new group name.  That would help * local * 
 people find you, rather than people thinking, "Looks like an interesting 
 group .... oh wait they're only in some place far away from me." 
No, I actually agree, and we discussed this in our first meeting on Saturday. One of the
names to consider is SEARCH (pretty cool) -

S = south
E = east
A = area
R = retro
C = computing
H = hobbyists

That's a lot like MARCH, so you guys don't mind?

Best,
