Cigarette?
Well, SEX [[ that's Software EXchange for those of you who came in late
--wnl ]] was a success and a failure. On the positive side, a lot of
people (I would say well over 100) were able to make tapes. On the
negative side, my tapetools were inadequate for the task, and I would bet
that some people who wanted to make tapes couldn't.
There was about 20 Mbytes of stuff available, and also X11, release 3.
Most of the Sun-Spots archive was there, and 8 megs of NeWS software.
Many, many, many thanks to Dave Thomas, Dale Yoakom, and Thomas
McLaughlin, who provided me with a Sun-4 and shoebox on the spur of the
moment. Without there help, SEX would not have happened. Everyone who
got a tape made should know that without the help of these people, nothing
would have happened. Their support on such short notice was fantastic.
Well, I'm already looking at SUG-SEX '89, and would like some feedback
from '88 participants. Should we do it again? What would make it better?
I have some ideas, but I'll wait to see what others think.
[[ Hey, Chuck? Was it as good for you as it was for me? Sorry, couldn't
resist! --wnl ]]
