It's certainly a possibility, and not one I am against considering. I used to run a Commodore 64 user group. Time marches on. That said, I don't think the LUG of today is much like the LUG of ten years ago, and I believe the organization has evolved along with the platform it supports, the internet has matured, and computers have become far more commonplace and powerful. Where ten years ago, we might have to teach what 'word processing' is, nowadays we're more likely to have to answer about how leading is applied. I do still think there are a lot of reasons for the group, as Ben outlined in his message. But I'd be interested in your suggestion to stack up the evidence for and against. - Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ gnhlug-org mailing list gnhlug-org@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org/
