The topic looks very interesting, Gene. Went to the website you provided and found the "map". It is on my calendar and will try and bring more. Thanks for your efforts!

Thanks for the heads-up, Gene. I've not been able to attend previous CIG meetings because of sticky commitments, but I plan to attend this one on the 21st! You mention that we need to bring a "networking card." I don't have one -- I think because my MAC already came with wireless capability, which I use at Peet's and the library. But that brings up another thought -- are these CIG meetings for only people with PCs? Or can both PC and MAC users beneficially attend? (I ask because I know that my REUNION software doesn't jibe with the genie software created for PCs.)
