It's a national organization. There used to be a metro-Boston chapter that met at MIT. For a while they met at the same time as BLU, and I had to choose between the two (looks like I made the right choice, eh?). Then we talked to them about it and they agreed to move their meeting to another day. We had a joint meeting with them once and it went very well. There seems to be a thing about Boston and user groups. The AIP-Boston chapter died a painful death from (IIRC) fighting and apathy in the officers. Coincidentally, this is what happened to the local ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) chapter I wanted to join. And BCS, which many of us were members of. ** OK HAVING WRITTEN THIS ** I just searched the ACM website for the name of the local group, and it looks like the Greater Boston chapter has started up again, and has actual events planned and whatnot. Imagine my surprise!! See http://www.gbcacm.org/ Looks like they have some interesting stuff coming up, too. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer http://thekramers.net DK KD There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying. The DKK D knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground DK KD and miss. All it requires is simply the ability to throw DDDD yourself forward with all weight, and the willingness not to mind that it's going to hurt. That is, it's going to hurt if you fail to miss the ground. Douglas Adams, "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
