* User Group University
Sold Out
__ The UGN was informed yesterday via telephone, that
the Apple User Group University is sold out. Even though many users registered very
early, prority was not given to a "first come" process.
__ UGU spokes person Richard Crispin explains how the
UGAB culled the list of applicants: "...we wanted to first and fore most let
less experienced leaders and those that have not attended UGU have the first kick
at the can. We feel that these people will get the most bang for the buck. "
__ Good policy, Richard!
Richard is President of the Waterloo Region Macintosh Users' Group, and a second
year UGAB board member.)
