Thank you so much. I am signing up.
I would like to see the formation of an XA Users Group with its own board of
directors. Is any one interested ?

Hello Phil,
Cistech (an Infor affiliate) has just started a Cistech Mapics User
Community. Their plan is to have Education Sessions, Discussion Forums and a
Software Swap Shop. Check it out and sign up at:
www.cistech.net
This sounds like it would be of interest to a lot of people in the
midrange.com user group.
Regards,
Vanessa King
