               This is the FINAL call for the Netter's Dinner!


The Netter's Dinner is a gathering of net.geeks at MacWorld.  I have
organized
the San Francisco dinner since '85 or so.  The dinner has grown to almost
uncontrollable proportions but I continue to make the effort because I
enjoy
the food and the chance to schmooze. It has traditionally been hackers and
programmers, but as more people find out about it, it has grown to include
others.  

Dinner is traditional hot and spicy Chinese food at one of my favorite
restaurants.  They have a banquet room we can take over that can seat the
unruly crowd we gather.  Last year the count was 102.  The current count is
only around 40, and we don't qualify for the big room until we hit 80, so
we'll
be in the small room.   

To attend the dinner you _must_ RSVP with me at my address jpugh@apple.com
by
Tuesday, January 5th.

Dinner will be Friday January 8th at 7 PM at the Hunan on Sansome at
Broadway.

We will meet at the top of the escalators in Moscone after the show which
ends
at 6 PM on Friday.  We will begin walking to the Hunan at 6:30 PM!  Please
note
that we are WALKING and this is a brisk walk at this time of year.  Bring a
coat and some confortable shoes.  The walk isn't bad, assuming the weather
holds, but be prepared.

The cost of the dinner will be $22.  This turns out to be the expensive
meal
and looks well worth it.  It includes Onion Cakes and Dumplings appetizers,
Chicken Salad, and Hot & Sour Soup, plus Garlic Chicken, Hot & Sour Beef,
String Beans w/ Meat Sauce, Hunan Scallops, Kung Pao Shrimp, Rice and Tea. 

I'll also order a vegetarian meal for Leonard.  If anyone else wants/needs
a vegetarian meal, please notify me as soon as possible.

Following is a list of everyone who has RSVPed.

See you there.  Don't forget to RSVP!  It's not too late.

Jon
