[NTLUG:Discuss] Do LUGs Still Matter?

[Stan Gatchel]

I agree. NULUG is a great LUG. I have attended the Fort Worth LUG 
meeting one or two times, but it's not as big as the NTLUG nor as 
interesting (at least when I attended ;-). People make good 
organizations and NTLUG has the people. I just wish we had more 
activities for the newbies and those who are not so technical.. but who 
knows if we would get the attendance?

Thanks,

Stan
