- Hello User Groups - especially you West coasters...
-
- This is to announce the 3rd (annual) Apple II/Macintosh User Group conference
- known as AMUGshot. In past years it has been held in the Corvallis/Eugene areas
- of Oregon. This year it will be held in Wilsonville, OR, slightly further north
- and closer to Portland. In the next few days, many of you on the west coast
- will be receiving an invitation along with more information. Please respond as
- quickly as possible. You may link me here, or respond as per instructions that
- come with your invitation.
-
- AGENDA
- Although things may not have been completely firmed up I believe the following
- things will be happening. I know this sounds not too together, but most of the
- planning is being done by one of our members who lives at a distance, and he
- hasn't conveyed the final schedule to me as yet. Nonetheless, many things are
- scheduled. Craig Elliot will be coming to represent Apple and to give us the
- very latest on what's happening with the user group connection and within
- Apple. Enrique Zamora, a system Engineer from Apple's Lake Oswego office will
- be presenting several of Apple's new projects as well as orchestrating a System
- 7 session which will answer many of your technical questions. In additon,
- answers to other questions like distribution and support of System 7, HyperCard
- 2.1+ and other aspects of managing the transition will be addressed. Microsoft,
- Broderbund, Beagle Brothers, Now Utilities, and Central Point Software will be
- in attendance and will be doing presentations and having representatives there
- to help answer questions about their products. There may be other vendors as
- well. There will be an intense networking session in which the user group
- representatives will discuss various aspects of starting, running, maintaining
- user groups, as well as addressing fund raising, volunteerism, projects,
- education, and support issues.
-
- DATE & PLACE, etc.
- This conferece will take place May 18 and 19 at the Holiday Inn at Wilsonville
- (Stafford Exit off I-5). Accomodations for attendees may be at one of the local
- motels or arrangements are being made for attendees to stay in homes of PMUG
- and MUG of Corvallis members. Contact Rick Deneffe at 800-345-4152 for further
- info.
-
- You may link me here or call 503-286-5335 in the mornings for more info. As I
- get more details I'll post them here.
-
- Looking forward to seeing you soon....
-
- Neil Wolf,
- President
- Portland MUG

- PS - there'll be lots of freebies and giveaways and stuff, as usual.
