The FOOD_SIG is reviving itself again.  We all have been too busy, lazy
or on a diet for the past few months, but that is all behind us again.
The May get-together will be at the 4-Rivers Chineese Restaurant in
Rockville on Wednesday, May 20th.  Our ETA (estimated time of arival) is
7:30pm, and will eat till everything in sight is gone.

Don't let me kid you too much, we are not really gluttons! We just like
to gather, eat, talk, and have a good time.  Any and all are invited.
Bring a spouse, friend, or co-worker that enjoys Chineese food, and good
company. Neither of you will be disapointed.

To have an estimate of who all are coming, drop me a note, mvore@digex.com

                       What is this FOOD-SIG, anyway?

For folks who haven't been to one of the FOOD-SIG gatherings, here's
a little background:

Back in the Dark Ages of microcomputing, in the days when Mighty CP/M
strode the land, the CP/M Users' Group of Washington DC used to meet
on the third Wednesday of each month. Being a congenial lot, most of
the members would wind up at a restaurant for dinner after the meetings.

CP/M's days as the dominant operating system drew to a close, and the
CP/M Users' Group decided to fold after a meeting where 90% of the
attendees said that their primary (or in many cases, only) machine was
an MS-DOS system, and that the major reason they came to meetings was to
go out to eat afterwards.

Since the third Tuesday of the month was free for everyone, and we all
enjoyed getting together, we just kept on meeting at various restaurants
every month in the three or so years since the CP/M-UG ceased to exist.
The days change, but the focus of the group is still the same, good
eating, good company, and good conversation.

There are no dues, no officers, no by-laws, no bureaucracy. There are no
requirements other than a heart appetite and the desire to enjoy a good
meal with congenial people. Spouses/significant others are most welcome.

The location for each month's gathering is posted a bulletin  (on the
Gen-5 BBS) at some point before it's too late. Please join us for an
enjoyable evening!
