			     THIS MONTH:

	     Topic: Friends Don't Let Friends Use Windows

  As personal computers become a significant factor in more
  offices, particularly in small-to-medium sized businesses,
  Microsoft Windows is clearly the operating system of choice.  Yet
  in this Microsoft-dominated world, there is a growing uneasiness
  with the frustration, expense and lack of options this situation
  presents.

  The consumer and business computing industries are at a major
  crossroads and face an incredible opportunity.  UNIX-based
  systems present a viable option to breaking the MS operating
  system domination by offering clear advantages to the consumer,
  yet significant challenges in marketplace visibility and
  operating simplicity remain.

  Our speakers have made a commitment to promoting UNIX as the
  operating system of choice for progressive organizations and will
  seek to open a lively dialog on ways to carry this message to the
  computer-using world.				   


  (My apologies to those ALE members who are also 
   regular attendees of AUUG, to whom Tom & Paul gave this
   presentation last November, but this topic was too good
   to pass up!)
