- There are quite a few others, including TPPI, and another in California

- Maruku/Megawatts is in Texas :)
- Megawatts is in Texas, Colorado, Georgia, Virginia, Michigan, Canada,
- England, France, and Finland.

- Well, why not call it The AmeriCharts? I agree that we have *just* enough
- to actually start such a scene. I think Australia's is quite more
- prominent than America's or Canada's tho. As for parties, you have to admit
- that a U.S. party is a much more difficult thing to implement than a
- European one. I personally can't afford a trip across the country... its a
- much further trip than from nearly any country in Europe to Aars :)
- Its a nice idea tho... we need an East Coast party as well! >:) I can see
- it turning out to be a user-group meeting tho. But we have to start some-
- where.
-
- As far as the americharts are concerned, I think that we should take up
- Celebrandil/PHA's offer to help organise it, if he is still at all
- interested. I've been trying to get one started for a log while now. And
- the possibilities seem MUCH greater than they were a year ago to actually
- see an American scene form! I welcome any e-mail, and would like to hear
- from more members of Epsilon, and any other interested group which I
- haven't already talked to :)
-
- Is anyone serious about this? >:)
