Jerry,

     That's true.  IMUG has a meeting scheduled in Ohio that overlaps the
end of HPWorld because there is currently no relationship at all between
IMUG and Interex.  When I approached Interex about a partnership they wanted
to have the BOF meeting during the HPWorld conference.  I agreed but
explained the potential impact.  That's also why I am shopping hard to get
anybody and everybody from any MACS shop at the HPWorld meeting, whether the
person directly works with MACS or not.  Tuesday night after the
HPWorld/IMUG meeting I will be writing up a report for the other meeting in
Ohio.

Thanx,
    Jon Backus
    HP Systems Manager

I understand that IMUG is holding their meeting (in Cincinnati?) at the
same time as the HPWorld conference....  I would expect you might not
have much of a turn-out.....which may bias your results if you are trying
to measure the possible benefit of meeting at Interex....
