I think I should clarify two things that John Vig mentioned about
the JAUG meeting last week:

	a) The problem with seating memory boards is not especially
		prevalent with the Micron boards. The problem has been
		observed on some boards from both Commodore and Micron,
		but neither manfacture has any widespread problems. 

	b) X Windows is not really ready for distribution now, but Dale
		does have most of it working. His version works in "local"
		mode where both the server and the client communicate
		locally over message ports. He is currently adding support
		for Ameristar's board.

The rep from WordPerfect was very good - as Jeff said "he kept the
audience on it's toes by throwing things at them!". If you're in the
northeast and want a demo, try and get Matt Kirk from WordPerfect to
do it, he's a very good speaker (We never believed a demo of a word
processor could be so much fun!).

Oh well, 'nuff for now - gotta plan the next JAUG meeting :-)
