	I want to mention to sci.nanotech two study groups that will be
working through Drexler's new book "Nanosystems".

	The first is a face-to-face meeting that meets every two
weeks, so far on the Stanford Campus. I will include the first announcement
for this group in this posting. In a second posting, I will describe a
private conference on the WELL [a computer conferencing system]
devoted to discusssing the "Nanosystems" book.

	There will be a second meeting of this discussion group on
Decmber 14th whose topic will be all of Chapters 1 through 3. It will
also be in Tressider Union on the second floor. I'm not sure if it is
also in the Birch room; I will post when I know.

	Probably the best thing if you are interested in getting
further information about future meetings is to write Ted Kaehler
whose email address is: Kaehler2@AppleLink.Apple.com
and ask to be put on the mailing list Kaehler2@HyperMail.apple.com

	What follows is the announcemnt for the first meeting [which
has already been held]:

############  Announcing  ##############

Nanosystems Study Group
at Stanford University

Purpose: To go through Eric Drexler's book, Nanosystems: Molecular 
 Machinery, Manufacturing, and Computation.  We will study each chapter in 
 detail.  If we are able to create exercises for the chapters, they will 
 be used in courses around the country.

First Meeting:  Monday, November 30, 1992
    7:30 PM to 9:30 PM
