Also, we are hoping to provide a core support group for new and experienced users to turn to for help. Currently SOUG is mainly an online users group. A local BBS, The Fiddler's Green which is run by one of the co-founders, hosts a message base for discussion about OS/2. This allows local users to access help and news between meetings, and allows new users to ask questions about the group without actually attending meetings.
