I don't have the time these days to get to a meeting, let alone organize <BR>
one, but if you or anyone else wants to, I'll be glad to act as an <BR>
intermediary since I am the VMware representative for this lug (I also <BR>
posted about this before I did it and no one objected and I got a free <BR>
copy out of the deal.) ( I still haven't upgraded my computer, so I <BR>
can't actually run it yet.)<BR>
