*Greetings from the DFWLUG*

May 2nd - May 8th is the Spring DECUS Symposia, this year held in 
Atlanta, GA.  

DECworld this year is going to be held April 27th through May 15th 
in Boston, MA placing the DECUS symposia schedule right in the middle.  

Decisions, DEC-isions, should you go to Boston or Atlanta, or both?

Whatever your decision, there should be interesting happenings at 
both events!  Also, don't look for ALPHA workstations to be just 
at DECworld in Ken's sandbox.  Rumors from DEC engineering place live 
ALPHA workstations on the floor at DECUS too!  

Now I wonder If I can send mail to the folks at home from an ALPHA box, 
or how many flight simulator squadrons it will support:-) 

ALPHA presentations and continuation of the 30+ VAST (VAX to ALPHA 
SYSTEM TRANSITION) sessions that will be at DECUS. Be sure to get a 
copy of the session notes, they are sure to become collectors items.


The DECUS Symposia has 1100 hours of regular sessions scheduled but 
there will also be half and full day technical Seminars on May 1-2
(Saturday and Sunday before symposia).  

For more information or to register for the Spring DECUS Symposia 
call the registration HOTLINE: (508) 841-3341  



See you in Atlanta or Boston!
