My apologies if this seems like I'm bypassing "official" channels, but SOMETHING is screwed with email and/or news. Been trying to get this out for 4 days now, and all seems "lost" in the net, not even a bounce. Email to announce@iris.eecs.ucdavis.edu and to Dan at zerkle@iris.eecs.ucdavis.edu seems to be getting misdirected, and no email is coming back to me. Due to the time sensitivity of this announcement I cannot wait any longer ... -------------------- BADGE (Bay Area Amiga Developers' GroupE) will host its January 1991 meeting at 7:30 PM in the SLAC Main Auditorium, 2575 Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park (just north (logical east) of I-280) on Thursday, Jan. 17, 1991. Admission is free. Everyone is welcome to attend although the meetings are oriented to the Amiga developer community. Opening the meeting will be Mike (Real Amigas Have Keyboard Garages) Meyer. The featured speaker is Mike Meyer, discussing the design of ARexx interfaces. Identify yourself at SLAC's guard booth as a BADGE attendee and park in the visitors' lot to the right, then walk across the driveway to the Auditorium. For those arriving from out-of-town, Palo Alto is the nearest major city. SLAC is 20-30 minutes from either the San Francisco or San Jose airports. For those who've asked: SLAC == Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, the home of Amiga VLT and Willy Langeveld (VLT's author and BIX's Amiga Forum Co-Moderator). The February 1991 meeting will feature Mike Farren discussing: Multitasking-friendly game design techniques. For more information, contact: Thad Floryan [ thad@cup.portal.com ] work: +1 (408) 985-7100 (M-F 11a-7p PST), or home: +1 (415) 961-5157 (M-F 9p-3a PST, and weekends)

I'm sure this is a swell meeting and all, but shouldn't you use a more limited distribution? I'm in Tucson, AZ, and I saw another reply from Texas. I might drive 100 miles if I was desperate to go to a users group meeting (that would about take me to Phoenix), but certainly not however far it is to San Francisco from here... > >For more information, contact: > >Thad Floryan [ thad@cup.portal.com ] > work: +1 (408) 985-7100 (M-F 11a-7p PST), or > home: +1 (415) 961-5157 (M-F 9p-3a PST, and weekends) Dave Schaumann | We've all got a mission in life, though we get into ruts; dave@cs.arizona.edu | some are the cogs on the wheels, others just plain nuts. -Daffy Duck.

This question surfaces every 6 months or so. People DO come from out-of-state
and from out-of-country to the meetings. The announcement would have been (and
now is) in comp.sys.amiga.announce, but there were (are?) some connectivity
problems between the SF Bay Area and Davis and, as I prefixed the announcement,
the time-sensitivity necessitated my posting to this newsgroup this time.
Prior years' public explanations for the BADGE Meeting distribution seemed to
have rubbed some people the wrong way, so if you want a copy of the explanation
send me email; be forewarned there are still some email problems in and out of
PORTAL since the switch to Internet distribution earlier this month.

(paper or video tape, with a intelligeble >sound track of course!!) Remind me via email in March, and I'll get you a copy of any notes I make. Video tape is unlikely (I'm sure not going to do it, although anyone else is free to). I will not, under ANY circumstances, make a paper tape of my notes :-) -- Mike Farren farren@well.sf.ca.us
