Re: [PLUG] Slightly OT: Active user groups for M$ developers in the area?

[Drew Lehman <dlehman@digitatech.com>]

I guess this was the push I needed.  I was able to grab one of the old

set up.  If anyone is interested simply subscribe and we can get get 
that conversation going.  Keep in mind that Pantug was more than 
development, it includes networking, Windows, virtualization etc.
