If people want to know what's going on with the Consumer Expo they
should go to the PC User group board meeting. It's the first Thursday of
every month. Check with Fielder or Jim G. They are both board members.

Oh, If AKLUG is going to be on the IT Expo exhibit floor this year we
need to get the space soon. Like in the next month or so. I'll give them
a call this week and find out if space is available. It goes quick.

I think a both is going for $950. If we all chip in a few bucks we might
get two. ;-)
