To All "Q" Sigers,
I think that the idea of demo-ing to new users the installation and setup of"Q"
as well as, the ugrade, data conversion and setup of more than one file for
current users are good ideas.
Items to schedule for future demos should work too.
I also feel that with Tax Time just around the corner, reviewing data and
it's placement and catorgization would be helpful to most of us
Thanks to all who put so much time, skill and devotion into living up the the
Motto of the GGCS!!

And a lot of publicity about the content of the next SIG would be helpful.
Even a specific broadcast email to all the GGCS members.

A lot of thought has gone into your plans - the
strategy looks promising.
