Re: [MLUG] MLUG's early history and upcoming 10th anniversary

[Jason Youngquist <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Keith Kleiner was the guy who originally started MLUG.   There actually 
used to be a Unix Users Group listserv, and then a MLUG listserv.  The two 
listservs merged to become MLUG.  (at least that's what I can remember 
from 10+ years ago).
