Bill,
That doesn't surprise me in the least. A couple of months ago I attended a
users group meeting in Dallas. The first of many I would hope. The local
MI employees are trying to get it started here again. I think that it was a
good first meeting and we have plans to keep it going on a quarterly basis.
But, back to the point, when myself and 1 other individual mentioned this
list, most everybody in the room hadn't even heard of it. That blew me
away. Of about 30 to 40 people, I would say (being generous with this number
even) that maybe 10 to 15 percent of the people new about this. Now I no
that a few people have since signed up since that meeting but I still think
that it would be under 30%.
Just my $0.02.
On a side note, if there is anybody from the Houston area. I am moving to
that area next week and would like to know if there is a local users group.

In today's GIS Monitor by Adena Schutzberg:
A VISIT TO A MAPINFO USER GROUP MEETING
http://www.tenlinks.com/mapgis/news/newsletter/archive/021501.htm
I'm shocked... shocked to find that only 20% of MapInfo User
Group attendees follow MapInfo-L! ;-)
BTW, this is a first class GIS newsletter. The writing's great,
the stories are interesting, and Ms Schutzberg like to turn over
rocks to see what crawls out, blinking in the sunshine.
