Well, the SUG conference was lots of fun and very enlightening. Unfortunately, it means that I am even further behind with Sun-Spots. Fortunately, I am not going away for the Christmas holidays (like I did last year), so I can do alot of work during that time when submissions should be fewer. Unfortunately (for you), that means you will have a pile of news to read when you get back from vacation. Oh well. I will try to be more selective to try to hold it down as much as I can. I don't really have the time to type in a lengthy review of the conference. There are a few things I would like to comment on, but it will have to wait. Naturally, I didn't make it to everything and I welcome comments and summaries from other attendees. The Sun-Spots SIG went well, although I got rounded up for dinner sooner than I expected. Sorry that I left so early. As a result of the discussion we had, I intend to request the formation of another Usnet list for the distribution of Sun-related sources: comp.sources.sun. I hope to get that request in sometime next week. I will be trying very hard over the next few weeks to catch up on the submissions. I can ony beg your tolerance yet again. Please remember that this is a very high volume list. Even after digesting the submissions, I send out between 15 and 30K of data every day! Someone from Sun (who shall remain nameless---you know who you are) asked me if there was any truth to the rumor that Sun-Spots was as far behind as the answer center! Oooh, that hurt! Well, onward.... Your moderator, William LeFebvre
