This Month ---------- Welcome back, welcome back, welcome baaaacckkk (oooh, ooh Mr Kotter!). Where has the time gone? Yes it is that time of year again, the WAMUG meeting. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and a safe and fun New Year! Lots of great things are planned this year, so stay tuned! There is a meeting on tonight, but I am not sure of the demonstrations. Look out on the list throughout the day for an amendment. And don't ask, the new iMacs have not arrived yet! Sincerest apologies to members for not getting the ROM out earlier. My mind has been elsewhere in the past few weeks, like getting engaged! --- If you have any comments about the WAMUG ROM, please contact the editor Rod Lavington , via the address: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WAMUG's Objectives ------------------ The West Australian Macintosh Users' Group was established in 1984 to provide the best possible means of connecting Users with the people and resources to help them; learn about, enjoy and maximise the use of their Macs.
