This is a transcription of paper minutes done by Matt Strait in 2020. The intent was to transcribe exactly without corrections, however I may certainly have introduced new typos or inadvertently corrected some. All text between the lines of dashes is verbatim, except for "[sic]" marking noticed typos. The handwritten notes that these official minutes are based upon have the fascinating rates related to David Cargo's computer suggestions: "Storage: $1.28/MByte/Day for on line storage $6.00/Discette 900KB for off line storage Time: $12.00/HR - Some discussion (Judy says Karen Johnson says that U of M is more expensive than thought)." Ok, on to the actual minutes: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Minnesota Science Fiction Society Board Meeting 5/10/83 Official(?)
