[SGVLUG] Outside Inquiries about SGVLUG

[serross at ix.netcom.com]

There seems to be some conflict. The VMWare presentation that I have set up for next week will be on their products and how they can benifet us. Venders should be incouraged to show us products that we might be able to use. No, I don't mean the sales presentation (and most vendors know that). I want to be exposed to hardware and software that I.m not using now. If I know whats out there then I can provide an educated evaluation as to what would best suit my clients and their business.

Am I wrong??
