December 20th will see the first meeting of the Jersey AMIGA Users Group. The meeting will commence at 7:30 p.m. at the Hill Center, Rutgers University. The room will be announced at a later time. Directions to Hill Center may be gotten by calling the Rutgers Microlab at (201) 932 - 3129. This group is being put together by myself and Eric Lavitsky whom you know as the creator of info-amiga as well as this news group. Interested parties, vendors, and developers are invited to attend. There will be amigas available for demonstration running demos from various vendors as well as software dev- eloped by Eric and some by me. Be there. Perry S. Kivolowitz ihnp4!ptsfa!well!perry

Another reminder that D E C E M B E R 2 0 T H will see the first meeting of the Jersey Amiga Users Group (Jaug). We will be meeting in the large lecture hall of Hill Center, Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J. The meeting shall begin at 7:30. Representatives from sev- eral manufacturers and retailers are expected to attend and will be making special ``user-group'' discounts available. AmigaWorld may also attend, if not in person, at least in the form of sample copies of the mag. For directions to Hill Center, call the Rutgers Microlab at (201) 932-3129. For more information, talk to my grandfather at (201) 271-4522 (treat him nice and do what he says). Net.atari readers are of course welcome as are memebers of the interested public. Perry

Why is most of net.micro.amiga cross posted to net.micro.atari? And why is most of the ST stuff cross posted to net.micro.amiga? Maybe the groups need to be re-organized: net.micro.atari 8 bit atari stuff net.micro.amiga_and_st Amiga and 520ST stuff This would come closer to recognizing reality. -- Tim Smith sdcrdcf!ism780c!tim || ima!ism780!tim || ihnp4!cithep!tim ^ ^-- Not ISM780C, ignore the header!

Timmy, Usually when one has a beef with a particular article posted to the net, one sends a meesage to the author and not to the net as a whole. Since you have sent your message to the net, this reply should also be as public. Do you have a problem expressing yourself with the aid of profanity? Or perhaps your command of the language is so limited that the thought that you could express the same intent with fewer words just didn't come to you. Maybe it did but you are too bloody mindless to recognize a good thought unless it bites you on the ass. The discussion of what material should be sent where has been beaten to death (or maybe you can't remember back that far...or maybe you can't read at all and when someone read my notes aloud to you you got the wrong impression?) I sent my posting to net.micro.amiga rather than nj.general because I don't believe I'd reach enough New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New Yorkers that way. I sent my note to net.micro.atari because, as I mentioned, the INTER- ESTED PUBLIC is welcome. I thought that atari fans would appreciate a chance to gain more information about other computers. Now, Timmy lad, what really do you a have problem with? Are you mad because by saying ``interested public'' you, being a proto-simian blob, were left out? I'd like to hear your explanation - but do it in private. Sending any thing else to the net would certainly mean you;d only embarras your- self further.

For god's sakes, don't make me wade through a bunch of atari stuff hunting for the amiga news I'm interested in. The stupid debate is finally settling down, and we're getting some actual information across on net.micro.amiga. The Amiga and 520ST are two different machines. Why try to talk about them both at the same time? It just makes actual quality programming that much more difficult. Atari owners: read/post to net.micro.atari Amiga owners: read/post to net.micro.amiga Isn't that nice and tidy? And efficient? I LOVE efficiency. :-) Lee

The INTERESTED PUBLIC on the net who are interested in the Amiga are free to subscribe to net.micro.amiga.

Since you have sent your message to the net, this reply >should also be as public. You are correct. A beef with a particular article should be handled by mail. What I should have done was mail your a short complaint about your article, and posted an article under a new title about the cross postings. Sorry about directing a general flame at a particular article. > > Do you have a problem expressing yourself with the aid of >profanity?

It sounds like it istime for someone to make a 'ne' distribution for New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, etc. Could someone over in that area create such a distribution? Or merge all those little states into one proper state :-) > >I sent my note to net.micro.atari because, as I mentioned, the INTER- >ESTED PUBLIC is welcome. I thought that atari fans would appreciate a >chance to gain more information about other computers. > Can Mac owners come too? Why not post to net.micro.mac then? How about IBM PC owners? Why not cross post to net.micro.pc? Most users groups I have heard of allow anyone to come. Is the NJAUG different? What would happen to the net if everyone with a users group posted announcements of meetings to every other net.micro.* group? >Now, Timmy lad, what really do you a have problem with?

I am going to have to call the ACLU or the ALF to deal with you! :-) ps: ignore the mail I just sent you about this. I have been having mailer problems, so it probably won't get to you. Even if it does, it really doesn't say anything not said in this article. -- Tim Smith sdcrdcf!ism780c!tim || ima!ism780!tim || ihnp4!cithep!tim ^ ^-- Not ISM780C, ignore the header!
