The same day as our SIG meeting, Microsoft will be in Beavercreek 
doing a number of presentations.  George Ewing has invited a couple M$ 
reps to attend our meeting.  Therefore, that might be a good time to 
talk about interoperability (file sharing, printing, etc.) with other 
operating systems, such as M$ Windows.

Paul, you have consistently done a great job with your presentations. 
  Don't expect we'll get sick of you any time soon. ;-)  On the other 
hand, it *would* be good to get some others involved in presentations. 
  I'll try to share the load a little.  We don't want to burn you out.
