Welcome Dick
Now, of course I am going to say you should consider joining the GNHLUG and
getting active with the local (to you) Merrimack Chapter of the GNHLUG. The
meetings are in Nashua the 3rd Thursday of the month usually, though I
believe that this month it is being held the 4th Wednesday.
We, the GNHLUG, have email list that you can join. I recommend it.
Subscription info can be found on the web site listed in the next paragraph.
You can check out all of the upcoming meetings around the State and the
Chapters by going to http://www.gnhlug.org and then linking to the calendar.
The GNHLUG holds 4 quarterly meetings, usually in Manchester and this month
is the third quarter meeting. The presentation will be by Applix on the
latest ApplixWare suite.
Hoep to see you at one of the meetings. I am posting this inquiry to the
group so they can meet you and also many will respond to your questions I
am sure.
