Thanks to kimjohn for making his original copy of History of Bits & Bytes booklet available to be scanned.
This 40 page booklet was produced in Jan 1986 by the TRS-80 / System 80 Computer Group in Brisbane, Queensland and their Monthly Newsletter was called "Bits & Bytes" and not to be confused with the Monthly Magazine also called "Bits & Bytes" produced in New Zealand. This is better quality than our existing copy which it has replaced. From the booklet
In writing the history of the Bits & Bytes Computer Users Group -
originally the "TRS-80 Club" then the "TRS-80 System 80 Computer
Group", I have used the regular monthly newsletters going back to June
1985 as the basis. Unfortunately the earlier newsletter sheets have been
lost A simple record of the events noted in these newsletters, in
chronological order, would make very boring reading so I have split the
history into phases in the development of the club, with separate sections
dealing with particular aspects of the group's activities over the years.
So in the Vintage Repository in the System-80\Documentation\Newsletters\Bits_and_Bytes folder we placed
history_of_bits_&_bytes_1986.pdf
